I will admit that for what I want to do UCSD is probably the best school in the country-- imaging for neuroscience
There is a certain faculty member who left Stanford and helped found Instagram, James Hollan (infographic expert) and many many many notable people in the neuroscience/radiology fields
 
San Diego is the neurotech capital of the country which was recognized by the President and governor (Cal BRAIN initiave), but even after all this, it still doesn't have much clout and I'm sorry but that really matters to me.

No one will ever like you with that attitude, no matter how prestigious of a school you go to (and UCSD is very prestigious) you cannot succeed acting like that. Perhaps academia is not for you.

In undergrad, I did mediocre....I had very strong semesters and other not so strong. I was undergoing depression. Now I'm in a PhD program at UCSD and quite frankly I'm embarrassed. I really did not want to start school again after undergrad...I honestly need a break. I graduated from an Ivy League and am deep in debt.
I am embarrassed to be attending UCSD quite frankly. UCSD ranks number 15 or so in my field ...name and prestige really matters. And I went to an Ivy League school that people don't recognize the name of (hint: it's been consistently ranked 4th in US news after Yale) on the west coast. It annoys me because people know about Stanford but my school was ranked just as high, if not better, yet people on the west coast are unfamiliar with it.
My undergrad grades weren't terrible, however, I am going to get straight As in graduate school and quit after I get my masters...it should only take me one year and a quarter.
After that I want to go to an Ivy, MIT, Stanford or Berkeley.
 
I honestly won't be happy unless I graduate from a top school.
People's ignorance about Columbia annoys me...it's an Ivy League school for Christ's sake.
But I remember someone on the west coast saying, "Columbia's the most expensive school? I don't get it..it's not Harvard or anything." I was just too dumbfounded to say anything. And my sibling goes to Harvard and everyone knows about Harvard and it's annoying when I see the reaction when I say my sibling goes to Harvard and people have no reaction about Columbia because they don't realize it's one of the top schools in the country. I love NYC and I wouldn't trade my years there for anything in the world but I'm tired of not being good enough, I know I'm capable.

Haha. No. They accept less than 40 people each cohort. You have no idea what you are talking about. Go back and crawl in your hole, no one needs your opinion.

Have you done the practice tests by ETS? Is this a matter of you not knowing how to do the problems, running out of time, or panicking? Or something else?

I would say it's better to just specify after. Say the official name of the degree, and then under, be more specific. For example, say PhD in Public Policy, then Emphasis in Science and Technology Policy, or something like that. On my resume, my degree is just a Bachelor of Science, with no mention of it being in math, and I add that after.

I think this is highly dependent on your program. It is not this way in all areas.
 
On topic: it certainly helps, but does not guarantee anything. Don't go buying plane tickets just yet or anything.

I'd check the results search to see specific results by your institution/programs from previous years.  Other than speaking to someone on the admissions committee or a admin/dgs there is no way to know for certain.

Ques: There are 2 firms A & B belonging to the same industry .Firm A employs
550 workers and Firm B employs 650 workers.
Firm A Firm B
Number of wage earners 550 650
Average daily workers 100 95
Variance of the distribution of wages 90 120
a) Which firm A & B pays out large amount as daily wages?
In which firm A & B is there greater variability in individual wages?
c) What are the measures of (i) average daily wages and (ii) standard
deviation in the distribution of individual wages of all workers in the two
firms taken together?
 
I know all the variance, SD, Mean formulae. I just don't know how to start this question. Can someone help me out for just starting it?
