SURVEY: Competition of 2010 Economics PhD admissions?

[Harry Lime]

[TMer logic]

I recently read about these corrupt New Jersey mayors who were busted by the FBI. On the one hand this means some college graduates who were intent on becoming corrupt New Jersey mayors might apply to Econ phd programs instead because of the risk now associated with being a corrupt New Jersey mayor. On the other hand I expect demand will go up for corrupt New Jersey mayors now that the stock has been depleted, so some grads who were going to go into ibanking may now run for mayor of hackinsack instead. I'm not sure which is correct, but I'm scared nonetheless. Maybe italos can ask some adcoms he knows from facebook if they're getting a lot of SOPs mentioning sanitation contracts and land deals. We should also get Untitled to sift through the data and see how many LORs were written by union bosses. And please anyone who goes to flyouts please let me know if anyone tries to sell you a kidney, this is going to decide if I take differential manifolds over the summer or not.

A nod to Harry Lime, chronicler of our era.
