assume you gave him 1 month to study for each exam. assume it's the "average" econ phd student at harvard. what do you think his score would be like? my guess is 175 lsat and 760 gmat.

probably around 170. econ students aren't that smart. If you said the "average" top philosophy grad student it's prob closer to 175.

ETA--the GMAT they would crush

you said that HLS and HBS are more selective than any Harvard PhD program. This can be easily confirmed or denied. I haven't looked but I'm sure you're wrong.

Top PhD programs are full of incredibly smart people. The fact that you use the stupidest of cliches to dismiss them is pathetic.

acceptance rates are deceiving. plenty of shit programs have very low acceptances; english and psychology phd programs are good examples.

not dismissing them. top phd students are very good in their fields of specialty. HLS and HBS, especially the latter, have more overall impressive students who are talented across a wide variety of areas.

my point is it's a very particular type of person who decides to get a phd. most people dont just wake up one day and decide to get a phd like they do with lawl school. strangely enough, that aspect of lawl school may make it more perfectly competitive as there are less barriers to entry.

typical aspie xoxo rebuttal. Sorry bro, tower club alum here. The funny think is you are trying to make comparisons about econ students and the Ph.D. admissions process of which you know nothing about. Poli Sci shiTTTheads are able to game the LSAT test with a few months of training. You're telling me PBK/Summa grads from HYPS don't have the intellectual capacity to do what their lower achieving classmates did? the average GPA at the t14 in shit majors is fucking embarrassing

But you're right, I guess they might not "necessarily" have the ability to do well in this test given time.

dear douche, I'm actually on the side of PhD students if you'd read the thread. I know it's a bit tough to tell pumo faggots apart but I agreed with most of what you said above including the pwnage of chalmers wrt admission rates.

I'm in a PhD program at a top school you stupid fucking faggot, so don't lecture me about the "admissions process" as if its some arcane subject that no one can comprehend.

I never said they couldn't do well on the test faggot, i said they wouldn't necessarily average 175. If you have some evidence that they could please post it. Also, please learn how to fucking read and stop making retarded arguments itt.

There's also no evidence they wouldn't. These guys were Phi Beta Kappas at HYPS sometimes in double majors with math, economics and other humanities majors. This would suggest they have the verbal capacity to pwn a retarded test you hold so dear to your heart. it's too bad you aren't at HYS - otherwise you wouldn't be arguing such an inane point.

I don't have a dog in this fight bro but pumo ran circles around you. He pwned you on the accusation of editing (which you quoted in your own poast above his LOL), and he pwned you on just linking to random indians as "proof" of their ability to score 175 on the LSAT, then he pwned you on the positive claim to proof, and he pwned you on your accusation of making unfounded statements. Basically you called people faggots and TTTs and then loudly proclaimed victory despite getting owned.

exponentially harder to do grad school in econ. each of those econ depts takes 10-15 students a year out of almost 1000 that apply a year. they don't care about your overall gpa that was boosted by fluffer classes. they only care about your grades in certain classes. if you didn;t take the classes, fuck off. they don't even care about the verbal section of the gre. they only care about your quant score.

lol @ u for thinking some 4.0 poli sci shithead would even be compared to some dude who has a 3.7 in analysis, prob theory, combinatorics, topology and optimization (diff eq, lin algebra and 3 sems of calc are a given).

ask yourself this q... how many lawyers do you come across vs how many economists do you meet? much tougher to be an economist than a lawyer.

dude. no one turns down hls/yls for a shit phd like philosophy at harvard or physics at mit. the only possible programs as i mentioned that would take people away from hls/yls are the harvard/mit econ phd or biz econ at hbs. some people do joint jd/phd with those schools.

lol of course, biz econ students are some of the smartest people in the country, topping mit physics phds, only in jjc's super faggot prop trading fantasy world.

i know you, being a huge faggot, can't comprehend this, but super smart people often don't give a fuck about money. they're too aspie or come from money in the first place

not saying they're smarter, prole. just saying that those programs are desirable while philosophy/physics/math/chemistry/history, etc., are not. Econ/finance at least are super practical, and if academia doesn't work out you can make great money in the private sector.

just lol@your flame about your college buddies sweating over a philosophy phd rejection.

"The people who do those top econ and econ biz programs aren't people who are gunning for academia or really interested in the subject. They are people looking to make money on WS."

false

these programs place mostly (97%) into academia

sometimes if students find that they're not cut out for research they end up going to Mckinsey or something or other though

smart guys sure, but most of their resumes are not ridiculous, with the exceptions of like gabriel carroll and melissa dell.

this chick for example was only cum laude from harvard, which has MASSIVE grade inflation.

one thing the grad school trolls are missing itt (and I'm not suggesting law school is harder to get than top grad, it isn't) is that a professor can take a flyer on a non elite student if he likes their statement of research interests or other aspects of their application such as the right recs, their writing, their internship, etc. Of course the student has to meet a certain benchmark wrt to GPA and GRE but ultimately professors get the students they want.

dude, most undergrads going into grad school DO NOT have published research before admission, even at the top top departments. Of course there are exceptions, but the idea that a bunch of 21 year old kids are authoring academic papers and placing them in professional journals is ludicrous. At best they get a research credit for labwork or data gathering or are like fifth author on a joint paper for the same reason.

And yes, fit is more important in grad school but it's also easier to game. You can contact the professors you want to work with and say "I read your paper in X and I really liked YZ. Are you taking students next fall?" and establish a relationship that you can use to your advantage. It takes more work, but is doable for sharp students.

JJC is a 31 year old Penn College alum

if he graduated college at 22 he was probably in the class of 2003

so he was admitted in 1999

i can't imagine how easy it was to get into that TTT in '99 lol

English PhD programs are among the most difficult to get into. Not saying that means the students are awesome but admission numbers don't lie.
