<p>I have reviewed your other threads about wanting to transfer to these other elite schools from Penn(W) so that you can pursue “theoretical economics” at the highest level and possibly get a PhD…and yet I don’t see Chicago (rated tops by most economics experts) or Berkeley on your list…</p>
<p>…if, I were to make a calculated deduction…I would think that you are a PRESTIGE-monger…who wants to transfer out to a better PRESTIGE school for some strange reason rather than based on the strength of economics…am I right?</p>
<p>I would love to help you in your decision making…but you seem not to have done any due diligence of SIMPLE GOOGLE RESEARCH and look up NRC top economics departments on the schools that really matter in ECONOMICS…</p>
<p>…if you were visiting Stanford, Harvard, Princeton, MIT, or even Penn (your home institution) and ask those who are economics majors about what economics program they respect the most…many of them would say Chicago without hesitation…</p>
<p>…that is why…I believe you are a PRESTIGE -monger…</p>
<p>…and by the way, your chance of getting in as transfer to Harvard, Stanford, or Chicago is less than 1.9%…they are three of the toughest schools to transfer into…just FYI…</p>
