Re: In at U.British Columbia MA Econ
Hi gstergia,
I received my email from the department around the same time you did. In that email, it states that they will get back to me in 24hrs regarding funding. A separate email was sent to me the next day, confirming my admission and providing me with the funding details of a TA ship worth nearly $10K and a small fellowship. Perhaps you will like to email them again regarding funding. Do let me know if you are going or taking up other offers. Hope to make some friends before I am there, if I am going. Also, may I ask, what is the deadline they set for you to accept their offer? |

I'm thinking not to go to UBC. The program is not all that impresive and I have no solid evidence that people continue for Top Econ PhD because of the value added from the UBC MA Econ.(and not because these people possess special characteristics and would anyway end-up in a Top Econ PhD). The program in not impressive because although the first semester is ok (Micro, Macro, Math, Econometrics) the second semester has no courses for me (let alone the summer semester). In Universitat Pompeu Fabra I will take 3 x 3 = 9 courses : Micro I & II, Macro I & II, 1x Econometrics, Game Theory with Mass-Colell  , and Advanced Game Theory and Special Topics in Microeconomics with Xavier Vives. The profs are from MIT, Berkeley, UMN, UCSD, LSE and other univs. no bad, huh? (before I make my final decision I will wait for the advice of ECON and a professor from Princeton) Econut, what is your profile?

Re: In at U.British Columbia MA Econ
People, what do you think of posting excerpts from my SOP here? (just for discussion) Are there any "hidden risks" ?

Re: In at U.British Columbia MA Econ
Sorry for repeating my post. I'm trying to draw some (positive) attention.
 Do you think I jeoparpize anything if I send an e-mail to Toronto asking if they have a decision for my application? The last time I did was March 22 and they told me that they do not have yet a decision for my application.
