CMU Economics PhD

[decision2008]

I am in at CMU and I have not seen much discussion on it here thus far. I assume people are still waiting on decisions or not many people applied there?

Any comment on the program? Especially people who are in it now? I did not hear any word about visits on the package either.

Thanks in advance.

I contacted the office, and told me my file was still under review, so I can only assume not all decisions have been made yet.

CMU Tepper is a super school, IMHO.

Besides, I understand a state-of-the-art laptop PC is part of the financial aid package (Not that it should play a role on anybody's decision about whether to attend there or not, but still)

Congratulations!

I've been wondering the same thing too...I saw a few posts on gradcafe, but not really any talk around here. I applied there, but haven't heard anything yet. Congrats on already getting in! I would love to get an admit from there.

Congrats!

Thanks, if anyone interested to know, it's a personal email from the faculty chair, and the title is fairly obvious about what their decision is.

Good luck to all who're waiting to hear from them.

That is helpful...i keep refreshing my application page, waiting for the "unavailable" under admission offer to change to something else.

decision2008: I just got in at CMU too! I found out by checking my application status, but still haven't received an email yet. Any mention of funding from them?

Does that mean that it runs Linux or FreeBSD?

Seriously, I'd love to see some more discusion about CMU. The joint public policy Ph.D. with the Heinz School looks like an interesting option... (although, with a class of 8, also a long-shot)

Congrats, great admit./
