Hi all,
Glad to see that some interest in UCSC! If anyone has questions, feel free to ask.
Gogol asked about rankings: according to the IDEAS website, they rank 6th in international finance: Field Rankings at IDEAS: International Finance

I would agree with everything Sir Ceterus is saying.

Carl Walsh is definitely still advising students. In fact, the external reviewers insisted that the department make a larger effort to emphasize monetary economics (given our strengths and the fact that there are many people enrolled who are concurrently working at central banks). Along that vein, the department is likely to offer an additional 2-quarter monetary sequence in 2nd year for those interested.

If you don't get funding in first year, I am almost certain you'd get it in second year providing you had decent grades. I was offered 2 quarters of TA support in first year (+ necessary int'l student support to pay fees), but was not initially offered a TAship. I was later offered one once the fall quarter started.
