Okay Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Hello guys, I am interested in knowing the amount of funding (yearly stipend) that each school in top 30 provides to admitted students. I was trying to get this information via looking at gradcafe posts, but the information there is not complete. Can you share your information? Let me start first: NYU: $34,000 is common UCLA: $20,000-$27,000 UMich: $20,000-$23,000 UW-Madison: $22,000-$28,000 Cornell: $25,000-$32,000 Penn State: $28,000 is common Texas-Austin: $16,000-$18,000 UNC: $18,000-$21,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although they tend to be in super expensive places (NY, Boston, LA, and so on). The amount of money you will get only matters on the margin.

tutonic Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Chicago offered 42k to almost all incoming students last cycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although they tend to be in super expensive places (NY, Boston, LA, and so on). The amount of money you will get only matters on the margin. Right now Yale and Chicago pay *significantly* more than other top 20 econ programs once you adjust for cost of living. Maybe close to a 70-100% bonus right now.

tutonic Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 And yet Berkeley rarely fund their first years. Noticeable difference between a public and private school, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
startz Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 The difference between private and public is noticeable. But can I ask how sure you are about Berkeley? Their website says "Over 50% of our new admits receive some form of university or department financial support." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutonic Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Just based on the stuff I've read on last year's thread here, as well as Gradcafe posts and EJMR. Admittedly, they aren't exactly trustworthy in the strictest sense of the word, but what from what I recall, there was a full round of offers made in late-March that were mostly unfunded for first year. If I recall, there was a guy that accepted an unfunded first-year Berkeley offer last year from here. Maybe we can get him to chime in.
