Just Say No To Chops

The number of graduate schools who have rejected me is poised to overtake the number of girls! Columbia became the second school to send me a thin envelope with a respectfully worded rejection of my application to study for a Ph.D. in Economics there. Most of them are due to be sent out by the 15th; it's actually quite encouraging that four are still out there, since it means I'm still in the running (or that they are slow and lazy).
