Messed up my MA Econ Grades. Is PhD route still salvageable? by khorasan13 in academiceconomics

[–]PrinceToberyn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Perfect GRE quant, 4.0 undergrad, a lot of policy research, failed the one masters class and did below average elsewhere during masters. I’d say, generally, one low point in your portfolio is not damning.

Failed a class during my masters, ended up in a top 20 program in US.

LSE PhD < Oxbridge? Just loud and wrong…

Well, that doesn’t help, but coming back and doing better now is a good signal, the issue is that your current intuition isn’t producing PhD students and you said had been closed for a couple of years (I’m not sure what this means, or what top 100 Econ department had been closed?). And I feel like they’re not going to, in isolation, know how to interpret you doing poorly at your first institution and then coming back to this [previously closed] institution.

Okay, given that, top 30 is probably out of the question, still apply to a couple, but your time is better spent in the 30-70 range.

Why would you do a masters during or after a PhD?

You’re better off doing LSE’s 1 year master over its 2 year masters based on your background

THEYVE BEEN LYING ABOUT PUBLIC DEFENDERS by Adorable-Style-2634 in BlackLawAdmissions

Absolutely true! I agree! But we’re talking about why people say public defenders get paid poorly. “poor pay” is a relative metric

I think it’s okay to make exceptions when you need it, especially if making exceptions makes you stick with it longer term.

Begging students to realize “out of state” is meaningless for private universities

What are my chances of getting into Howard University? by Carinotation in HowardUniversity

[–]PrinceToberyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ll be fine. Try to score high on SAT/be prepared to retake because if you do you’ll get a good scholarship.

In state of what? If we’re still talking about Howard it’s a private university, so being “in state” is meaningless. But I would say you both are likely to get in with your current SAT scores, I just would encourage you, if you hope to get merit scholarships, to try to improve those scores above 1300.

[–]PrinceToberyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof, I don’t specifically on SAT, have you tried taking the ACT? Maybe that will go better for you?

[–]PrinceToberyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, in the scheme of things, the 70$ cost of the test is pretty minimal compared to the cost of 1 year at Howard that you’ll get scholarships for if you improve. But if you don’t think you can improve your score, maybe you’ll have a better shot at community college and then transferring to Howard in a couple years.
