  1. have these columbia emails come at exactly the same time and the lag is just people posting results at different time or are the mails coming with spaces?
  2. I was admiited to four schools, and was flying from europe. I got the maximum coverage from each schools (around 400$). Together it was enough for the trip. They didn t worry about which flights i spent their money on.
  3. ok, but then why do schools list stipend and summer grant separately?
  4. Question: does a summer research award imply that you are expected to stay during the summer? In general, how long time can one spent on a summer holiday? G
  5. Ok, Any info on Harvard PEG, Stanford and NYU would be welcome! gabor
  6. Ok my cycle has ended! I declined two waitlists (duke & caltech). I allmost surely declining an mit offer soon! Good luck to everyone (and gonna stay in the forum, of course)! Gabor
  7. I d add the possibility to try to get something you had writtten published. That s what i did in my gap year and got an r&r which gave a great boost to my applicatuion. Also, i am gonna get off the waitlist at Duke, and probably turn down an offer at mit. Hope that this helps someone out there!
  8. PROFILE: Type of Undergrad Institution: shitty public school in eastern europe Major(s)/Minor(s): Economics Undergrad GPA: bot convertable, but mediocre Type of Grad: Economics MA in an OK private, american university in eastern europe Grad GPA: ~3.6 GRE: 162 V 164Q 4.5 AW Any Special Courses: the full MA sequence in micro & macro, full phd sequence in Econometrics + (pol.econ, voting behavior, pol psychology graduate seminars) Letters of Recommendation: had a close relationship with all of them and I assume they were very strong but none of them is very well known. 2 econ profs (PhD Michigan & Harvard), 2 polsci profs, and the former minister for the economy in my home country Research Experience: bunch of research papers, one publication in Electroral Studies Teaching Experience: 2 semesters of teaching in a business school Subfield/Research Interests: methods, behavior, polecon Other: RESULTS: Acceptances($$ or no $$): Harvard PEG (no funding info yet, but shouldn t be a problem), Stanford ($$), MIT ($$) Waitlists: Caltech, Duke Rejections: Yale, Berkeley, Princeton, Stanford GSB Polecon, Pending: Harvard, NYU (assumed to be a reject) Going to: ? Advice: A lesson is that you might have a shot in top tier school even with not so nice stats if you have some sort of extra. In my case that could have been a publication, a lot of independent research and teaching. Apparently fit was also important (even if not the way I expexted): I was rejected by some "lower ranked" schools and accepted by supposedy better ones.
  9. I am really ambivalent with this. I mean NYU was my dream school (in my dream city) and all along the process i found it impossible not to pick one program that i prefer over all the others (which is admittedly a silly attitude, ex post). also i thought i had the best fit at that department (pol econ, behavior + quant). as I see there is a consensus that harvard-stanford are the places that you are supposed to attend if accepted but still, i think i d turn down both if accepted to nyu. it honestly does not have to do anything with my ego:)
  10. Out of berkeley. It s overfor me unless there is some hope in nyu... Is that possible?
  11. Rejected at yale and stanford gsb... Their loss:)
  12. I know its a lame question, but... ...is it considered immoral to attend a visit day somewhere, that you re 100% not to attend (in order to get financial help to pay for flights elsewhere?
  13. I also watched it:) Actually, it was quite popular among my peers (born in the late eighties). i loved Linka from the USSR, especially.

Harvard PEG - April 3-4 Stanford - April 9-10
  15. Cheers guys, I really hope that you ll have similar luck!
  16. I more curious about the reason for the others accepting me. The only reason i can think about is that (and thats what i see in this forum) is that relatively few people applied to quant method as a subfield.
  17. Accepted by Harvard Kennedy School of Government...
  18. Stanford: $29,000/year $3,500/summer (1 year) $1,000 in discretionary funds 5 years health insurance MIT: 22,500/year 2 quarters of TA-ship required insurance I ve never been to any of these places. How do the to packages compare in "purchasing power"?
  19. Thanks a lot, i don t think i deserve this all, but i accept my faith! I honestly wish the same luck to all! g
  20. Also admitted to stanford, same conditions. Letter from Jackman. WTF?
