First up, what did we end up choosing for Best TV Show Big Little Lies The Good Place The Leftovers Rick and Morty Stranger Things Twin Peaks: The Return and the BOFFY Goes to...

Stanford would be my number 1 choice of school. You're also looking at around a 5% acceptance rate though, so I'm definitely applying there but it's so competitive that it's really a crapshot at getting in (even with a competitive application)

The perks of PhD programs are they'll pay for your tuition and give you a stipend (if you get in). The stipend isn't much though, which would make the Bay area more expensive compared to SoCal options (which are all outside of LA really). I'm also not sure the pricing for on campus apartment living and such for students at the universities. That's something I'd have to look into when I know which programs I actually get into. Stanford provides a lot more funding being private, but then just getting in there is a longshot no matter how good of a CV you have.

Hm, I guess that’s 4 LA area schools then and 5 SoCal schools. I mean I still need to eliminate like 5 from my list, but the only two cal schools I’m considering taking off are Berkeley and Claremont (However Claremont is a good safety and berkeley has a fantastic program)

My predicts on Derby Picture: Get Out Director: Del Torro Actor: Oldman Actress: McDormand S Actor: Rockwell S Actress: Janney OS: Get Out AS: Call me By your name Cinema: Blade Runner Editing: Dunkirk Costume: Phantom Thread Production: Blade Runner Makeup: Darkest Hour Score: Shape of Water Song: Remember Me Animated: Coco Sound E: Dunkirk Sound M: Baby Driver VFX: Blade Runner Doc: Icarus Foreign: A Fantastic Woman

I can think of one! Moonlight.

I’m holding out hope that Get Out was the preferential ballot choice to beat Shape and Billboards

UC-Santa Barbara Whats also nice is I’m more interested in the behavioral sciences, mental health and neuroeconomics aspect of Economics. A lot of the best behavioral and experimental econ schools are in California. Plus, warm weather without the southern culture sounds really nice.

So far I've narrowed down the graduate schools I'll apply to next semester to 19. 7 of them are California Schools (3 around LA, 2 closer to SF, 1 closer to SD, and 1 elsewhere) 3 New York Schools (2 in NYC, 1 not) 2 Boston schools 1 Rhode Island school 1 Texas school 1 Arizona school 1 Georgia school 1 Kansas school 1 Oklahoma school I need to narrow down my list to about 12 by the Fall. I think it's a little evident which geographic region I am targeting lol.

You mean by 3m.
