I don't see what the big fuss is about, I choose not to tell people by college because I don't want to, it may be that the other person doesn't mind telling theirs so I ask him, if they don't want to tell me then that's fine.


The big fuss is you're being a secretive douche for no apparent reason.

MWM, hinted at who (s)he got an interview from on the camb pool thread...just sayin


It definitely Girton. Saw a post of his on Girton asking ECO students to PM him.

I don't really understand the secrecy, but his call :confused::s-smilie:

Three econometricians went out hunting, and came across a large deer. The first econometrician fired, but missed, by a meter to the left. The second econometrician fired, but also missed, by a meter to the right. The third econometrician didn't fire, but shouted in triumph, "We got it! We got it!"

Experienced economist: "If you eat it I'll give you $20,000!"
Not so experienced economist runs his optimization problem and figures out he's better off eating it so he does and collects money.
Continuing along the same road they come across another pile of horse manure.
Not so experienced economist: "Now, if YOU eat this I’ll give YOU $20,000."
After evaluating the proposal experienced economist eats it and collects the money.
They go on. The not so experienced economist starts thinking: "Listen, we both have the same amount of money we had before, but we both ate horse manure. I don't see us being better off."
The experienced economist replies "Well, that's true, but you overlooked the fact that we've been just involved in $40,000 of trade."

Ok, quick question. I'm applying for 2013 to Cambridge/Oxford, UCL, Warwick and another two. Should I add to my PS that I was the leader of the team which represented my school at Junior Achievement Romania: Banks In Action?
