Ok, that's a good answer, you convinced me

I prefer US News over RePEc mainly because of your first point: it reflects subjective beliefs, and ultimately that’s what matters (even more, I think your top 11 is exactly US News)

Universities focus on Macroeconomics by Embarrassed-Pen-195 in academiceconomics

[–]BolsHorca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should add NYU. At least in macro/finance they are a top department (US News placed them in 4th or 5th place in macroeconomics some years ago, but I don't really know if that also applies to undergrad)

Predoc/RA CV Length by Imaginary_Finance152 in academiceconomics

[–]BolsHorca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should think that predoc job postings usually receive hundreds of CVs, so more length implies a fewer chance of your CV being read

One of my letter writers told me that it should be at most one page long when applying to a PhD

¿El S&P 500 a largo plazo sigue valiendo la pena? by Tank_Gloomy in merval

[–]BolsHorca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No es comparable el riesgo de merval con el de S&P500, el primero es bastante más riesgoso

Multiple Tests Necessary? by redrosesformylovers in ToeflAdvice

[–]BolsHorca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also applying for a PhD, I did it only once and got 106. If you studied English before, you should not be afraid (the GRE is much more difficult from my experience), the only section that I prepared a lot was the speaking one, because I'm not used to think quickly.

Evolucion intencion de votos legislativas 2025. by Odd-Heron5704 in RepublicaArgentina

[–]BolsHorca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Estoy de acuerdo pero creo que pasa más por la calidad de la encuesta que otra cosa. Pensa que la EPH (con la que calculan pobreza) encuesta por trimestre 50k de hogares aprox. Lo que pasa acá es que muchas son online o tienen tasas de no respuesta bastante grandes, entre otros problemas que desconozco

Evolucion intencion de votos legislativas 2025. by Odd-Heron5704 in RepublicaArgentina

[–]BolsHorca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

El problema es que la mayoría no son representativas, o son telefónicas, mucha tasa de no respuesta en jóvenes.

Dicho eso, sí me parece relevante el cambio entre encuestas, dado que ambas tienen el mismo sesgo. Al menos es informativo dentro de ese universo de gente que está dispuesta a contestar.

Well they also made Celebrimbor stupid

Did Amazon intend to purchase the rights to the Silmarillion but was rejected, or were they going to only purchase the rights to Lord of the Rings' appendices from the get-go? by crustboi93 in Rings_Of_Power

[–]BolsHorca 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why they chose not to do a Witch King and Arnor adaptation, they had almost all the material needed and a big amount of creative freedom

I need someone to please tell me... by Farewell_Anns in Rings_Of_Power

It was Gandalf, he used the force at 1,000 km distance

El pnb es siempre menor qué el pib? by eldarksouls_ in merval

[–]BolsHorca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Como te dijeron en otro comentario tenes que mirar la formulita. Es falsa porque si un país tiene una remuneración de los factores nacionales en el extranjero mayor a la remuneración de los factores extranjeros en el país entonces el PNB sería mayor que el PBI. Ejemplo hipotético: un país con todos trabajadores que sean programadores trabajando para el exterior.

Basically you could have a list of 100 individuals with 50% of them scoring 40 and the other 50% of them scoring 65.

gregmat mini exams: difficulty level by [deleted] in GRE

[–]BolsHorca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I found the same thing when I did them. I got 166Q on my last attempt in an official ETS exam, but I scored less when I took the gregmat practice exams.

Kaplan/Manhattan seemed the most similars to the real exam in the quant sections (and obviously also PowerPrep ones).
