昨天刚刚收到UIC 的half assistantship,tuition waiver+750$ ×9 months
钱很少,但是已经很满足的
还在等一个拿到wl的学校的最后结果,应该再下周就会决定最后去向了
其他offer :Nanyang Technological University TA
U Missouri Columbia的Non-resident tuition waiver scholarship
AD:SUNY-Binghamton,Alberta, U Tennessee, Clemson U,Vanderbilt的GPED, Oregon state
拒信一堆,就不报了
5个wl,一些变成没钱的ad了
个人背景在选校时有报过,就不重复了
今年申请我觉得总体来说不是特别顺利,而且我觉得往往信息了解得多了反而对选校没有帮助
就拿Kansas State来说吧,他的director和我说,If you want to apply for financial aid, it is risky
for you to apply。人家都这么说了,我当然没有必要申请了
可是讽刺的是,KSU的econ居然在厦大发了两个offer
当我知道我的两个 同学拿到KSUoffer都想拒了推荐我时,我真有种天要亡我的感觉
还有比如WSU,Oregon State,说本科不能直接申博,最后还不是一样招了本科生
感觉被狠狠地耍了
If I were you, I will choose UIC without any hesitation. Now for you, it's even cheaper than ma@ U alberta! Very good job opportunities and a very good city! Econ @ UIC is Strong in macro and has a close relation with its ibusiness department and industry in Chicago!
个人认为,overall gpa>major的,毕竟人家第一个看到的就是你的overall gpa啊
还有排名似乎用处不是特别大吧
-from my experience, GPA of core econ and math > major > overall GPA.
My over all GPA was very low.
Rank of econ phd really works for me:
I applied from top 160 to top 20 distributed homogeniously: from U alberta to OSU. I am accepted by the lowest two guys, offered by a middle guy, on the waiting list of some middle-high guys, and refused by top guys.:)
