Let me start by getting some bad news out of the way. I’m afraid we weren’t able to admit you for our Economics concentration in the MA Program in the Social Sciences (MAPSS).
We had 470 exceptional Economics candidates for an entering cohort of just 40 Econ specialists.
We know that many – perhaps most – persons we rejected will have terrific MA and PhD offers in Economics from other programs.
But now for some good news.
Your application was singled out by our faculty, as one of the 50 most talented for our new
MA concentration in Quantitative Methods and Social Analysis。
