据信 finance UIUC

很凑巧，昨晚给他们发信问，回来今早就发现gradcafe上几个fresh的据信，我也收到了

第一封，还有两个默据的，就差正式email发过来了

which two u mean?

Also, UIUC is not that good in terms of academic placement recently. And they are enlarging the class size, which will make placement worse in five yrs. 

northwestern和BC

我申的学校除了kellogg特别好之外，其他的都差不多

虽然uiuc，osu，unc之类的学校在第二个tier里的名气比较大，但发现他们最近的placement确实比较一般，跟top的学校差的还是很大的

Dear xxxxxx,

The Ph.D. Committee of the Department of Finance met recently to evaluate
applicants for admission to our Doctoral Program beginning Fall 2008.

We received applications from many highly qualified individuals.
However, financial and other constraints have resulted in our accepting
only a small number of applicants.  While your qualifications are
excellent, we are not able to admit you to our program.  I hope that with
your fine record you will obtain admission to another university.

I am sorry that I do not have better news for you.  I wish you the best
in the future.

Sincerely,


        

Neil D. Pearson
Professor of Finance and Director of PhD Program

OSU will give decision letter this week, I think my rejection is on the way.

UIUC is good for the faculty, although the placement is worse than top 10.
