不错！Chicago is a great place. You will love it! But make sure that you pay attention to safety if you live off campus. I am sure you will have a blast! Enjoy Price Theory and Income Theory. If you decide to live off campus, I would recommend Regents. It's relatively safe although a bit pricey by Chicago standards. It's a lovely city too. You can get to downtown very easily. It has a good Chinatown as well. Highly recommend that you try out the Chop House for its steak, and maybe the Signature Room for lunch because of the view (the food there is actually just okay). And yes, full funding at Chicago is definitely a good sign. You are right, once you have an offer from Chicago, who cares about the the other rejections! Best of luck in your years to come at Chicago!

谢谢大家的祝福，就不一一回复了，望见谅。
背景其实很一般，而且有一个致命的硬伤：完全没有研究经历。从被别的学校拒也能说明这一点。现在看来，这次申请确实有些冒险。只申了9个top 10的econ program以及columbia，wharton, booth的finance。真是低估了今年的竞争强度，我觉得主要是现在申请econ phd的优秀的中国人越来越多，而这些top学校的经济系为了保证diversity不会把所有qualified chinese applicants都招进来，所以对中国学生来说，需要做的exceptionally good，才能被录取。
不说废话了，大致的背景是:
Undergrad:07 NJU math.    Grad: 11 Chicago mfe
TOFLE: 114, GRE:610+800+3.5
Didn't take any econ courses in undergrad, took 7 first year econ phd core courses at UChicago, with most of the grades A or A-.
Biggest problem is absent of any research experience, which might have shut the doors of other top schools (except Chicago:p) against me.
