Bump! Someone must at least have a opinion the the first point, whether or not being out of academia for a year when the application is made will have an effect on future applications?

So missed out on admission for 2008/2009, and now i have a couple of issues. Firstly I haven't done any meaningful work this year (been doing menial work just to get little money together), so will that be a negative point against my future applications? Secondly does anyone know of good places to RA at for next year, ideally either in the areas of experimental/behavioural Economics or game theory/industrial organistation as these are the only areas i feel confident of my abilities to be an effective RA in at this point? I don't really mind moving anywhere, but i'm only fluent in English. Thanks in advance!

Hi, has anyone else applied to the MSc Economics program at the IHS-Vienna. I'm a little concerned, because my old lecturer thought i would have no problems getting in and they said that they would be conducting interviews this week, but i haven't heard anything. Has anyone heard from them? Here's my profile if anyone is interested, it did get me waitlisted at a couple of the places i had applied for http://www.www.urch.com/forums/phd-economics/107078-applying-phd-but-panicking-lot.html

You could always break the ice with a joke, and ask them if they like fishsticks? Then see how they are going to fix the world....

That would be brillant, but doubtful somehow.:rolleyes: But at least this rejection gave me a chuckle as well!!

I had one from Cornell that didnt spell Economics correctly, it was spelt "Ecnomics"....

Again i got a rejection from them today without prompting them for my status. Haven't had the best day really... :rolleyes:

I'm still pending 3 decisions (sort of 4; one gave me an email with a decision from a different program to the one i applied for). :doh:

Is anyone else still waiting to get a decision from Boston U? :doh:

I've been thinking about them myself. But i'm too much of a wuss to call/too tight! :whistle: Still haven't heard of any admits which didn't have a fellowship attached... Are they still on spring break, quite like the idea of adcoms cutting loose. On a different note my friend and I were amusing ourselves with the idea if instead of applying for phds in the traditional manner, they instead had a draft and have no. 1 picks and all that. :p

I think that has been the trend in the past. But i haven't heard of anyone who has received a TA or RA with admission? Maybe need these are still to come before the unfunded offers trickle through. I'm really not sure, if anyone knows otherwise i'd would like to hear from them

I haven't heard anything either! But on TM and Gradcafe I've only seen the fellowship offers given, has anyone been offered a place via TA or RA. Or as i suspect, are they still to come? :hmm:

I'm in the UK too and i've heard nothing too...

I found this link, it gives the placement records of their students. Not that impressive in recent years considering their ranking. Is it just a lean period? http://www.arts.cornell.edu/econ/graduate/alums.pdf

How many hours does heavy cover? Also, what are their placements like? Are they really that sub par. Makes me wonder now whether it was a good idea to apply... :hmm:

Thanks, i'm a bit gutted. The link came up when they updated it saturday night i guess. I haven't been checking all through the weekend. If you check it now and it's not there then it's safe to assume that your ok for today. Good luck!
