  1. I think you should take the funded PhD offer (because paying for grad school sucks) and if you, for some reason, don't end up liking the university, you could always transfer next year (for most programs...I'm sorry I don't know if your program works the same way). It doesn't hurt to put in a new application next year even if you're not sure you'd want to transfer...
  2. After my first three right in a row (and during spring break, of course), I bought a cake and wrote on it exactly where those universities can shove it... After the first few, however, I've just been shrugging it off.
  3. Based on last year's results (at least for Econ), it should be any day now.
  4. UNC seems to be behind for just about everything - I was accepted for Economics very early (POI on the adcom?), but the 'first wave' hasn't gone out yet. It's a little frustrating because I'd like to know my financial package but won't find out until they actually send out those acceptances.
  5. Tell me about it. In order to look better on my applications, I decided to complete a math minor in my last semester (mistake!!). I know that once I accept my offer, it's just going to get worse too. I just take solace in the fact that undergraduate GPA doesn't mean much once you're already in grad school.
  6. 99% sure I'm going to UNC for an Econ PhD...just waiting for the funding decision. Really looking forward to visiting - everyone tells me that the area is gorgeous
  7. Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand....call me crazy, but it actually makes me feel better.
