@Umairrasheed Thanks! I was interviewed as well, and received a (very polite) rejection some time back. I hadnt posted that, so must have been another applicant.

Hi @ShadyG, congrats on the acceptance from Columbia I am on the waitlist. I know this might be too much to ask, but hoping that people accepted to the program make a decision soon. Rejected: Brown, Chicago, UCLA Accepted: Michigan Waitlist: Columbia Unknown: Toronto, JHU, Cornell

Dear All, I have been accepted with full schol at the Graduate Institute for Masters in Development Studies and I have also been selected for the PSE PP&D programme. I am not very interested in doing a PHD in Economics later in life ( I am more for a PHD in Policy or International Development). However, I would like to do research jobs in the development sector ( like JPAL or World Bank) with some management/implementation aspects too. Please note that the masters in Graduate Institute is more of a quantitative social sciences programme as I can take up almost all the econometrics courses from the econ department. Given these interests , I am worried if my decision to attend Graduate Institute over PSE would be career suicide. What do you people think?
