kinghalo Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 The title is self-explanatory. Why don't we have The decisions thread for ARE PhD programs? After reading through "Roll Calls for 2009" and "The Decisions Thread", I figured that there are a good number of people who applied for ARE PhD to start an independent decisions thread. This way, we don't have to fill the decisioins thread with unnecessary questions like, "Econ or ARE?" to a decison which doesn't specify the type of program. Plus, I am getting tired of searching for replies related to ARE in "The Decisions Thread," most of the replies of which are about ECON. I would be glad if a few of us who got admitted repost their results to make this thread complete ARE decisions thread for 2009. Future generations of TMers as well as us, will benefit with saving considerable amount of time in finding useful information about ARE PhD application.

AREStudentHopeful Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 It would make me so happy if I could put up a legitimate reply on this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrrh Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I guess I'll repost from the other decisions thread. Institution: UC Davis Program: ARE Phd. Decision: Accepted Funding: Full Notification date: 2/3/09 Notified through: Phone call Comments: I was supposed to learn more about funding, the fly-out, etc. via e-mail but I have not heard them since I was called. I emailed Christ Hansen but got no response. Has anyone else who got accepted heard more from them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duality Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I haven't received any further information beyond the initial voicemail/email. It was said that she would be in touch "soon" with this information, so I wouldn't worry yet. Based on the last couple years it looks like funding should be about 16.5k/year. They've changed up how they do admissions though it seems, because they used to invite people to the open house prior to acceptance, from what I understand.

bootstrap Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 When UCD called me they outlined the financial package (tuition, fees, TA/RA) and I was told that they are putting in fellowship nominations right now. I was told I'd receive the details in the mail (postal not email). They didn't mention anything about the fly-out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjw10 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Re-post from the Decisions Thread: Institution: Oregon State Program: AREC PhD Decision: Accepted Funding: RA - 15k + tuition Notification date: 1/22 Notified through: Phone call Comments: Perfectly fine with heading to Corvallis, although I still have my fingers crossed...

cjw10 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I guess it should be noted that I think my Oregon State admit was made so early because the department head had to fly into my college town on business and she suggested we get coffee and chat about the program. I think that it was a convenient circumstance and that those who applied to OSU shouldn't fret about not hearing yet. It is, however, a very small program and they only have enough funding to give an RA/TA to 5 or 6 students each year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjw10 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 It seems that some of the people admitted at Davis (ARE) have also been nominated for a schoolwide fellowship... Do you think it's possible that they've only notified applicants who have also been nominated for a fellowship and that a general round of acceptances is yet to come?

AREStudentHopeful Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 That's what I've been told; I don't believe they have sent out their general acceptance letters yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who did you hear that from? ...sounds promising. I really wish that's the case. :hmm: Agreed. I was literally shaking once I heard Davis was handing out acceptances.

AREStudentHopeful Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 That's what I was told when I emailed their department (One of many hopefuls who call, I'm sure). Let's all cross our fingers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singmeat Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Ive applied to 5 ARE programs! waiting on Davis, Maryland, Mich State, Florida, Arizona. my app to Davis was a little late (one rec late, and apparently a transcript misplaced) so I hope I don't get totally thrown out as a result.

cjw10 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 To Oregon State applicants, I just got a response email saying that my letter of acceptance will be sent out this week. I'm making the assumption that they'll be printing out a few other letters and mailing them at the same time. I have a feeling they'll use the phone for funded offers--but don't neglect the mail-man either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinghalo Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Who did you hear that from? ...sounds promising. Agreed. I was literally shaking once I heard Davis was handing out acceptances. Where else have you applied Kinghalo/what is your intended field of specialization? I applied to UCB, UCD, Iowa State, NCS and UIUC (which I am attending currently). My interest is in environmental economics. I think I'm gonna post my profile at the Roll Call thread when I have time. I am inundated with classes and thesis right now (and worrying about results......), though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
