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)

 

You know you want to. Embrace it. 

 

(where "elsewhere"?)

I'm wicked embarrassed to actually agree with Ethan on this one. (In my defense, that was also a really weak year for original songs.)

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.

Love Me Like You Do is one of the best songs of the decade perfect pop jam

Shoundt Deadline publish their "Most Profitable Movies" write-up in the coming weeks? I found them very interesting in the last few years.

Eh, Santa Barbara is basically LA. Or at least SoCal.

What if I get the app for other reasons?

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)

E! Has a countdown to the red carpet and now they're playing....a random woman singing best song winners _badly and some random seat fillers looking confused.

I have a cousin who goes to Berkely, when I went with him to tour the school (its a world famous school), the place was really nice but the protests were funny.

 

 

LONG LIVE VEGANISM!

The Bay Area is awesome too. Might have trouble finding a cheap-ish place to live though. I guess with Claremont and Berkeley you could have options in Oakland or Richmond or the further East Bay.

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.

College is wasted on people who haven't been to college

[Lordmandeep]

If I had a choice I rather choose Standford over Berkeley in a heartbeat ^ lol

 

 

Based on my tour of those schools. 

[DAR]

I’d choose Cal just knowing Aaron Rodgers set foot there
