...看到魏冬的日志让我心生很多感慨。感谢魏冬，在申请和学术上我们交流最多，在申请上他对我帮助太大，让我避免了被计量很好的dream school UCSD拒掉的局面；更重要的，让我在申请时放心许多。我的申请是个一波三折的故事，想得到开始，但想不到结局；我觉得应该写点什么作为纪念，也算给大家提供一点经验教训。另外感谢魏冬和吴沛凡，你们两个写的日志让我明白申请总结应该怎么写，因此省掉我很多时间思考结构，可以hardcore地把想说的都说出来。 致谢 首先要感谢的当然是我的三个推荐人。我只有三个推荐人，并且在所有学校上用了同样的package。L老师是nonparametric metrics界的大师，能有机会上他的博士生课并且拿到信我不胜荣幸；他的和蔼出乎意料，我填推荐人的两天之内几乎所有信就已经交了；在申请结果出来的时候还从美国打电话给我，我的感激之情无法形容。UBC的M老师对我帮助太大，我只能感激自己在换到UBC的情况下还能碰到这么好而且做metrics的老师，在申请之前和之中总是给我信心，帮我很仔细地改了SOP，而且我的第一个offer还是他先告诉我的。经管的Z老师是最熟悉最了解我的人，我从大二开始给他做RA，一直到现在（我在经济系只有这一个RA），学到的东西太多，不管是metrics的理论还是编程，还有做学术的许多道理；在我最低谷的时候，每次和Z老师交流之后我就变得轻松，而且对未来有了信心；能有好的writing sample，离不开他的指导和帮助。能拿到三个都是做metrics并且都是very strong letter，这种很consistent的package对我最终的申请结果起到了关键的作用。 除此之外还有上一届的吴沛凡和贺熹学长。尤其是吴沛凡学长，总是在我低谷的时候给我信心，不厌其烦地改我几乎不成形的SOP；虽然他总是自黑，但学术能力却总让我自愧不如。在经会认识这两位学长，我深感幸运。还有帮我修改文书的同学和老师。 还有一起申请的同学。魏冬我想不用多说了，不管是去berkeley还是stern相信以后一定都各种牛逼。还要太感谢伍良杰，一起在拿到Chicago后像小学生一样天天上课复习准备托福，没有互相支持我想我估计挺不过这个难关；马上就要开始长达五年的repeated games，希望在Chicago大家都好！UBC的Z同学我是交换的时候认识的， 他是那边统计系的第一名，和经济系的double major；交换的时候就对我各种帮助，让我感觉还不太无助，申请前后我们几乎天天交流，互相看过SOP，分享各种信息，让我了解国外的本科申请econ phd是什么样的情况；神奇地拿了top 10的3个wl还有一个1st year funding wl，希望他至少能有一个转正啊！ 按道理还是要感谢父母。但是我想这是言语无法表达的，父母从我大二的时候就坚定支持我申请，尤其我爸还各种了解信息，在申请上有时候比我知道的还要多一些；最纠结的感受只能向父母表达，靠他们开导；我还能心理正常地度过整个大学和申请的过程，他们起到了最重要的作用。 还有我的室友和同学们。李昱松刘运操经常听我在宿舍吐槽，忍受我的噪音，太不容易；小贺和孙健总是各种开导我，我心情不好的时候也经常找他们发泄，但他们同时也有很多的事情和压力。还有上学期经原小课的同学们，在我最无聊最郁闷的时候想到要给你们上课，就不得不振作起来；课上各种有趣也让我轻松许多；如果以后觉得我有什么能帮到你们的地方，一定不要犹豫。 背景和申请结果 背景 GPA：总7/152，必修+限选5/152； ...
