I've asked in the past, but has anyone/is anyone going to decline CMU Joint Stats Public Policy? I will literally accept their offer within epsilon small seconds after they contact me.

Can anyone corroborate the post that Penn/Wharton sent out admissions decisions? It seems odd that this would have happened without anyone posting an acceptance.

Had an interview with CMU today for joint Stats Public Policy. Interviewer said they have four spots in the program. It seems like the only chance of getting off the waitlist is if someone turns their spot down. I see two acceptances and one other waitlist on the results page (guessing there are more). Anyone thinking of turning their offer down?

Anyone have an idea what the odds of getting off Chicago's waitlist are like?

Is anyone else surprised we have not heard from Penn yet?

I’ve been accepted to a number of masters programs, of which I’m seriously considering the following: - LSE's Msc. in Economics (2 year programme) - Duke's MS in Economics and Computation (40% tuition waiver) - Columbia's MA in Economics - NYU's MA in Economics - Tufts' MS in Economics (80% tuition waiver plus TAship) I currently work as an analyst for a government agency with a pretty heavy research component. My goal is to eventually pursue a PhD, though I’m not as competitive a candidate as I’d like to be quite yet (missing certain courses, eg real analysis, and less than stellar grades during first half of college). The plan is to use this degree as a sort of Econ post-bacc, and maybe a launching point for a better RA position (I’ve applied to a ton, but never made it past the final round). Any thoughts on where I should go? Leaning towards Duke currently.

Hey, I'm literally in the exact same boat as you right now. What did you end up choosing?
