I am wondering if Prof. Walsh is still active advising students. It seems that none of those on this year job market has him as an advisor. I am interested in international monetary stuffs so it would be great if have the opportunity to work with him.
You said Prof. does not really stress class performance but I guess TA/RA assignments are based on first year grade, at least my perspective after reading the dept website.
Did you arrange the visit with the dept? From what you said, it seems that there is high probability that non-funded first year students could get funding in the second year. Do you know the statistics on this? I think this is important given the high living cost in the area. It will be very hard to pay for the first 2 years from out of pocket money.
