I was accepted with the 50% tuition waiver and TA position and am considering the offer. I have not spoken to anyone at Tufts about the program but I know a fair bit just from general research online.

If you are referring to the TA position it says on their website that it is typically $4500 per semester.

Duke MA and Cornell AEM M.S. post industry placements on their websites.

I was admitted to U Delaware M.S. Econ and Applied Econometrics. I guess it has some applied aspects but I think most of the required courses are theoretical while some of the electives could be applied. In any case does anyone have thoughts on this program? Do you think it could it be used as a stepping stone to an ARE PhD?

Hey thanks, I am excited to have been accepted into the program. However, it is much too expensive and I will most likely not attend. When I applied I was not sure if they offered funding or not but I figured I would give it a shot.

If you are referring to my post in the results thread, I actually applied to the M.S. program and not the PhD.

Alright, thanks for the input.

eh?..

For U of T and Queen's do you need a statement of purpose? I see nothing about this on the application info page, nor did I see it going through the application. I realize this may have answered my own question but it seems odd not to require it. Thanks.

Alright, thanks guys. Yes, it seems pointless to have to put in any address at all.

Since this question seems to be sufficiently answered I'd like to ask a question here instead of making a thread about it. Plus, it is related to LOR submission. Question: Where the application asks for the mailing address of the LOR writer I'm assuming I put in their address at school, right?...not their home address? Sorry if this is a ridiculous question.

Hey guys, I have had several jobs, but nothing relevant to economics whatsoever. I am guessing I should leave all of the work experience fields blank? I just don't want adcoms to think I am super lazy, haha. Edit: I am currently a TA for principles of micro. Worth putting as professional background or irrelevant?
