I heard of a UNM student that transferred to another program. I don't know any details or if it's even true...I'll try to find out. But i don't think it's that crazy to think about leaving for a higher ranked program since we are a low-ranked program. I'm sure some profs.( including the chair) might not like the idea, but I'm sure some won't care... I do know that a few students came here after not passing prelims at higher ranked schools...

my fellowship is paid out in three payments..10k in the fall and spring and 4k in the summer

I have admit there are many outdoor activities available in Laramie...But its still not that cool for most people. I lived in a smaller town than Laramie ( Arcata,Ca with a pop. of around 15,000), so im not a city slicker by any means, and Arcata offered many more activities than Laramie...

WYO is the best program out of the ones mentioned and 16K is more than enough to live in that town...That being said, Laramie blows...I've been to Laramie a couple times and there is not many things to do...Although Denver is close, so that could be a positive

Hang in there singmeat.....I'm sure UNM will fund you....

Last summer I spend a month taking more stats courses at a University of Michigan summer program.

yeah, but it goes to show that the process can be random....

This profile is from an applicant in 2007. She was my classmate at a small state school in CA and was admitted with full funding at UC IRVINE. She got a 660 Q ... Profile

I know most of you won't be interested, but for those of you interested in applying to UNM here are some of the placements from the last ten years ( It's incomplete since the department does not have a list. I compiled the list by goggling former students to find out their initial placement and using profs. c.v.'s) ...Btw, has anyone uploaded info on econspace? I haven't seen much info on there... here is the link University of New Mexico - Department of Economics - Econspace

I agree with the last post...I only took Calc I & II and i was fully funded at the University of New Mexico. I would assume it's possible to get funded at other schools in the 200 range...Linear Algebra is recommended but not required. I did not take Linear Algebra before i got here but I've since taken a course, plus math boot camp and Math Econ ( we used Simon & blume and hoy )...

Hello, I just thought i would let everyone know about this opportunity. It's a Visiting Grad Research Fellowship for 2009. $10,000 stipend per semester ($6000 for summer semester). If you can't open the pdf containing more info, let me know so i can email the pdf to you. oavdn17@gmail.com

Here are recent placements from Miami(Oh) according to their website: placements *scroll to the bottom of the page to see grad school placement

I met a guy last year , who is at UCLA and he did the MA program at SFSU...
