hi there ! , i´d appreciate your objective opinion about this Master Program at ITAM México: Departamento Académico de Economía - ITAM (i.e. is this a good program to help someone, who does very well at it, to gain admission to top PhD in Economics Programs in the USA ? ? ). I applied to...
I was sitting here thinking about applying to PhD programs today and was wondering what people generally do if they do not get accepted anywhere they applied? Can you usually still find some low ranked PhD programs that have late application deadlines? Can you apply to a few more schools, but...
I am under the impression that the application deadlines at many schools are just in order to be eligible for financial aid, and that someone could actually turn in an application months later and still be accepted to the program (but without financial aid). Is this true? If so, how late can one...

How you mind telling me which schools explicitly require a writing sample(except for chicago and wisconsin madison)? On the other hand, I know that toronto discourage applicants to submit writing sample.

What do u think of this school? Santos has joined this school recently.
One thing is hard for me to figure out: how do you translate grades from a 0-10 scale to a 0 - 4 GPA? Can anyone help me out on this? Thank you very much!
Hello all, I was reading some recommended courses from some universities' website. many universities like U Penn would suggest: An excellent level of preparation consists of additional courses in: real analysis point-set topology
Soooo...I just finished math camp at Umich. Math camp here is the front end of a semester long math course that is compulsory for incoming students. It's two and a half weeks of intense math before term starts, 4 hrs a day (felt like more). We covered, using Simon and Blume and the lecturer's...

Out of curiosity.. I know of a professor who used to teach at a top 30 school, who applied for tenure after having been there for approx. 5 years and was not awarded one, and so he immediately left to an unheard of university (but as an associate professor with tenure there). After having...
Dear all, Since I blew my first GRE completely (Q710) due to personal circumstances, I had to retake it once - now with more success (Q800). However, I understood that ETS reports both scores to universities. Does the first test harm my chances seriously or do the universities only look at the...
I have two questions regarding the GRE: 1) How much in advance to application deadlines should one take the GRE for the first time? In case you care, I am planning on applying to programs during fall 2008 and winter 2009 (in other words, I want to start my PhD program during fall 2009) and I am...

For the demand functions idefined by D(P) = A * e ^ (-yp) and D(P) = A * P ^ (-y) where A, P, Y > 0, find the elasticities of these functions. Aren't the first derivatives the elasticities? I saw a differnt approach, so I just thought I would ask!
I am an Asian student preparing for applying Econ. Ph.D this winter. My GRE score is pretty good in verb. and quant. But, what matters is a terrible AWA score, 3.0. I don't know why I got this score. Should I take the exam again? Actually, I don't want... I am not confident to get a...
