Forum: Graduate Admissions

Hi all. Check your status at website. I have been admitted in Econ Ph.D. w/o aid. Fortunately, I have strong likelihood to get a full scholarship from my home government. Best wishes,

What math classes would make your application stronger? Does it matter where you take them?

Could anybody please tell me the deadline for replying schools? 14th Aprial or 15th April? If I can reply at 15th Aprial? Thanks~!!

I applied for a PhD in IE at Toronto Univ and still do not hear anything from them. Dont know if they also adhere to April 15 in America :hmm:

Here's the deal, I haven't heard from Queen's and I have 3 classes left in my current school to graduate. I have a make a decision b4 monday whether i will have to take those classes but that decision Depends on if Queen's accepts me... Cos if they don't I don't have to pay those outrageous summer...

Did someone of you receive any information from MIT? Did they specify your position on the waiting list? (high, low, etc...)? Thank you.:whistle:

Has anyone heard anything new over the past few days about waitlists? (In particular, Northwestern and Princeton. But it would be helpful to post info regarding any school.) I've emailed the departments already (and recently), but I was wondering whether anyone has heard back either way. ...

What do you think about the choice between Penn or Northwestern? I am not sure about my interests, I like applied game theory but I do not exclude an interest for Macroeconomics. In terms of overall ranking they seems to be pretty equivalent... Thank you!! kleidemos

Hi all. A well-known fact about DC living is high housing costs. To avoid this, I think, the best way of housing is roommating at a 2 bedroom apartment. Is there anyone who might move in DC in fall 2006?? If so, I think we should consider these issues for now... Sorry for this message, but...

NYU or Northwestern? What do you think?

I understand that April 15 is the dealine to respond for those admitted with funding, but get confused if this law also applies to no-funding admits. Any ideas or suggestions?

Folks, I just have a couple questions regarding quantiative finance. What are the chances of an international student to find a job and visa sponsorship after completing a master's in Quantiative finace or finance in general. Is a Ph.D. a better idea for this purpose? All suggestions are...

Here's a question for anyone currently in econ grad school. I am trying to decide between taking a year off now and traveling OR going straight to get my PhD this September and then travel the following summer. How big of a disadvantage would this be (not doing an internship/summer research)? ...

Hello All, Has anyone applied to RPI, UCI or UCSC. How do you guys track status with these places. RPI guys are very snooty - they don't respond to e-mails and there's no way to track online. UCI guys seem to be in hibernation...no response from them either. UCSC did respond but their online...

I've been accepted to Cornell without aid. I received the letter but there is very little infomation in it. Does anyone know: 1 - What are the chances of receiving funding in years 2-5 of the program? 2 - When is the math review course? 3 - By when do we have to respond to the offer? (I'm...

I'm known to be a joker, but what I am about to tell you is in complete seriousness. I had the unfortunate opportunity of visiting Cornell's graduate dept of economics. When I went there, the chairman of the program accidentally leaked how their school and many other top 20 schools go through...

Hi All, In case anyone is still trying to decide between UMD and somewhere else, here's the complete list of recent plaecments. I think the list they gave out during the open hosue was a little less comprehenisve. Aysan, Ahmet Bogozici University, Turkey 2005 Bastos, Fabiano Bank of...

Hey guys, I have really bad news for those who are in the Duke waitinlist for the PhD in economics. Since I am a Duke student I just found out yesterday that 20 students have already decide to come to Duke that means that they are not going to offer admission to anyone on the waitlist. However,...

I hate asking this but it is driving me nuts. Has anyone heard from U. of North Carolina for Econ? Last year people were admitted in early February... but I haven't seen any posts on GradCafe this year.
