here are some stats on the recent attrition rates at UT, they sure scared me! Entering class for Fall 2005 had 34 students; 11 remain. Entering class for Fall 2006 had 38 students; 24 remain in the program. Entering class for Fall 2007 had 30 students; 22 remain in the program.

guys I am currently at UBC, and let me tell you, the administrative staff here is the least helpful you can get, i ll go on to say that they are plain rude. i think you should perhaps call the department, maureen is not really keen on replying to emails no matter how urgent your problem is. i guess they need to do something about this!

why does it matter now? you have an admit from Austin, right? even if it is crappy from your point of view it did secure you a good admit.

hey guys I saw some people have already started declining offers and thought it would be great to have a thread which states all of them for the benefit of those of us who are on waitlists. just to reduce their anxiety a bit. it would be great if people could post 'their' decisions as and when they make it.

Hey guys, I have two funded offers one from rochester (fellowship) and one from austin (TAship). I was thinking if you people could help me decide which one is a better deal? I would really appreciate, i am really confused. my research interests are applied econometrics, labor and empirical IO. thanks so much.
