hii xnormajeanx!! Would u mind commenting on the quantitative content of Harris relative to SIPA (as said in my last message) ?? Chaoo.

Stephen n Xn...Hii Surely some good points were broached. Stephen I am from south Asia where IVY stamp still holds supreme or at least what they say. I , on the other hand, not a big IVY fan. I am a known notorious for turning down places from LSE to UPen. :twisted: Nyways, I am interested in economic/finance policy making that requires a strong Quant content. Based on the what I see from the curriculum provided on the website, CHicago (relative to Columbia) seems to offer more quant/statistical based courses hands down. My undergrad was in finance and I have been working to launch a monetary fund and policy framework for the development of micro-SME industry in the country. Would U agree on the quant thing for Chicago?? Secondly, how about intermittent internship opportunities at Chicago? especially relevant to the private finance sector.

Hell all, Stephen I tried PM-ing U, but there was no response..... Nyways, to all the folks from Chicago, I pose a question , A great dilemma for Me!! I am utterly confused between SIPA n Harris. :?: I have a full scholarship to both the places, so no funding issues. Some say HArris is more sound academically but SIPA carries greater brand name. Would U agree?? I am an international student and be coming back to the home country so NY location factor for employment gets discounted. Need some serious ADVICE??

Whoz the International student who posted an 'admit' to the Michigan for MPP. Thumbs UP man 8)

hey all.... Applied to GSPP, but havn't a heard worg from them.... IS it a good sign or a bad OMEN..... :? International Applicant. Please advise

Hey all, COngrats to all who got in....commiseration with others (hope U make it to even better place). I could not help wondering that the admission results for GSPP's MPP listed on the forum are only for the 'A' students, what about the rest? Being an 'I' (International) applicant myself, that makes me a little more nervy. IS GSPP still holding onto its International offers or may be none got in??? As the wait gets more intense, this pessimism is getting under my skin. Anyways, I would be glad if nyone could throw some light on the matter.... Chaooo.

Hey economist.........Ur anxiety is palpable , and so is mine as I am too found skimming through such profile evaluation forums. Good to know they are others too. Nyways, I share the same profile as yours, I am from Pak (Lhr), BSc 3.7/4.0 (Hons), GRE 780Q, 650V, almost two year work in an NPO working for Ministry for Industries, Finance and god knows what else. Ooh, did I forgot to mention am Fulbright scholar myself (Masters 2009), aiming for MPP HKS, UC Berkley, Uni Chicago, Muchigan An rbor. Though I am keeping my fingers crossed but I feel you have a good shot at all of them. About HKS, nobody is ever sure what they go for. Last year, one my friend and student mate from LUMS got into HKS without any work experience (STRANGE), but apparently he was able to cover for that by a dual major BSc, strong GPAs and 1400+ GRE and yaaa , he too was a FB scholar.So, as being pointed out, FB scholarship does give u a niche. Its a little too soon, but have U heard anything about Anything from your Universities. CHAoooo.
