Notes
Among top 5, I was accepted precisely to the schools in which my letter writers are (or were) faculty members and rejected otherwise (even from the schools generally considered lower in rank). Really, admission to top schools is becoming more and more about the connections of the letter writers. I acknowledge that I benefited from this system, but am not sure if this is healthy for the future of economics academia.
