While it is too sad to know the decision from UCB, I feel much better for the offer from UCSD (fellowship).

you can expect an offer or admission from UCSD-econ so far if you haven't received any information from this school yet. They just started sending e-mails today.

Good luck!

I got just about 5 minutes to answer your question.

I don't want to say much because I am too different from you all.

Over 30s, 5 year woking experience in China. Received my master's degree ten yeas ago. Graduate from top school but pure social science major.

Back to about 15 years ago, GPA was just introduced to China, so in my school not many student could get GPA higher than 3.3.

I began learning English since 2000 (after came to the US). TOEFL>630 (in 2001) GMAT>700 both writing:5.5 (in 2001) GRE>2350 (in 2002)

Studying in CA at a small school (no ranking) , major ECON. Going to graduate soon. GPA close to 4.

Start learning ECON from Demand/Supply curve (without any math), so all the professors were very impressive, and got very good recommendation.

The other strength for me might be my SOP. I detailed my research experience and research interest.

That's about me.

Not exactly. I was in the US last year, too. But I was rejected by 19 schools (management Ph.D.)

The basic requirements for B schools Ph.D are Math and Microeconomics courses which I didn't have at that time. I chose Economics was for preparing for B school but I found I love it more than management, so I transferred from a MBA program to Economics. I guess my incentive and determination to learn Economics may have impressed some professors.

As mentioned before, many students want to transfer programs and schools after a few years. So your incentive to learn Economics is probably very important, as any of your academic excellence.

Some more additions:

2 years TA/RA experience in the US. Government research related work experience in China.

No English paper but one book published by a famous university in China (not in ECON subject).

Not want to show myself but just want to say that I think research experience is important and so to papers (even in Chinese).
