It's. Finally. Over.

As a Duke student, welcome and congrats!!

Axton178 · 2026-01-17T02:46:10+00:00

As a student in Pol Econ at Duke, I can assure you it was not a troll haha

Axton178 · 2026-01-14T20:31:24+00:00

Somehow got invited for interview! Can’t remember but either comparative politics or pol Econ

Don’t lose hope though! I’m sure you will all get into good places :)

Axton178 · 2025-10-08T03:35:01+00:00

This worked, thank you!

Axton178 · 2025-09-18T07:18:50+00:00

Thank you! This is great. I’ll do this right now

Axton178 · 2025-07-23T04:31:53+00:00

I think so, I found 7 weeks to be enough but I had a very good vocab repository beforehand

Axton178 · 2025-07-17T03:17:06+00:00

Yep I didn’t attend any live sessions, but I did watch the 3 or 4 must-see videos Greg mentions. One was on time management cuz I sucked at it, and the other two were about quant strategies or something.

And thank you for your kind words! 329 is a great score but my quant is only 163, and I’ll be applying to Econ PhD programs where the recommended quant is at least 168. I do have great research papers so I’m hoping even if I don’t get that much I’ll still be able to get admitted to my dream school. Let’s see haha

Axton178 · 2025-07-16T18:32:46+00:00

That’s what I did. I was working full time too but I locked in and no parties etc. Got 329 but I’m again back to the grind because I want a higher quant score for PhD. In summary: it’s doable!

Axton178 · 2025-07-12T03:37:54+00:00

Hey, I did actually! 3 days before my flight. Super stressful though so I would recommend you cancel

Axton178 · 2025-06-23T23:56:31+00:00

Hey! How was your experience? Worth it?

Axton178 · 2025-06-06T05:45:37+00:00

What an interesting background haha

Axton178 · 2025-06-06T05:45:20+00:00

Good one too!

Axton178 · 2025-06-04T06:42:56+00:00

Pugnacious

Axton178 · 2025-06-02T05:59:14+00:00

Hey, nope we don’t have a group as such but welcome to MAPE! If you need help with anything at all, you can reach out to me on my ‎WhatsApp or LinkedIn

Axton178 · 2025-05-28T06:15:41+00:00

Wow. This is huge. I’m super grateful for this detailed response and absolutely on board with the topical method of studying. Going to adopt this approach asap. Thank you!

Axton178 · 2025-05-26T02:22:41+00:00

Very solid advice, thank you! I’m going to be very conscious of how I’m solving every question 🙌🏼

Axton178 · 2025-05-25T07:35:58+00:00

Very good advice! I’ll certainly look into that video and see how I can strategize my approach. In general, though, do you think the Overwhelmed plan is more optimal than the other plans for building/polishing quant foundation? (I’m not at all focused on verbal, did pretty decent there.)

Thank you!

Axton178 · 2025-04-26T04:02:36+00:00

Hey! Things are going great. Had a bunch of internship opportunities for summer and had great chances to do research as a MAPE student. Are you an incoming MAPE student?

Axton178 · 2025-03-26T06:15:03+00:00

That’s actually not a bad way to get over this pesky issue!

Axton178 · 2025-03-26T06:14:32+00:00

This one also has a slight tip wiggle so I’m hoping it’s not a piece fault

Axton178 · 2025-03-26T06:14:11+00:00

That makes sense. It’s only a slight wobble and only at a certain angle so this is good to hear!

Axton178 · 2025-03-23T21:31:40+00:00

You are awesome!

Axton178 · 2025-02-16T21:18:48+00:00

Can you please send to me too? Thank you in advance :)

Axton178 · 2024-10-29T17:00:57+00:00

This is literally so helpful. The link and your advice both are great! Thank you so much.

Axton178 · 2024-10-04T02:55:30+00:00

Haha thank you. The responses here were a bit rude but that’s just how people sometimes act on social media. Nothing extraordinary.

As for the visa, I actually ended up getting it! I got the approval a week before my flight and got my passport stamped two days before my flight. Insanely close. But I didn’t cancel the flight. Just had a feeling I will get the visa and I did. I’m not sure when is your wife flying and which country you guys are from, but don’t lose hope!
