finalweek

thanks a lot

I am now working with a H1B visa and will get a F1 visa in Canada/Mexico soon. However, I still want to earn salary for the last month before the class begin. Can I still work and earn salary for the last month after getting a F1 visa in Canada and reenter the U.S.? thanks

does the Univ allow you to register with H1B for a full-time student? the other necessary condition is that the employer consents to support your H1B during your study, right?

“Why do you want to change H1 to F1!!!! Most people struggle to change F1 to H1!” Can you study at a school with an H1B visa?

so getting an I20 means nothing of the status? Then a faster way is probably to leave the U.S. and get a new VISA at an US Embassy oversea

I have a question about transferring from H1B to F1 If I want to transfer to F1 at the end of August does a newly issued I20 means that my H1B will expire then otherwise, how and when will I be transferred from H1B to F1? thanks

As an international student/professional, I need to transfer from H1B to F1 this fall before entering the Econ PhD Program. One question is, once I get the new I-20, does that mean my H1B expires immediately and cannot continue to work? I remember Pedxs raised a question about from F1 OPT status to a new F1, and is H1B to F1 in the same situation? thanks a lot

one way is to change status in the U.S. if you want to get a new US visa , the fast one is in Canada or Mexico

3 papers are a more diversified portfolio

"Those holding a research assistantship and those with access to shared office space during their first year also experienced significantly lower attrition, probably reflecting greater integration into the life of a professional economist."

most (top) schools do not count on publications except UC but rarely a UC phd has a publication when graduating

I guess u will get the money! good luck

UCB is a laid-back and friendly place

there will be a wave of decline to Michigan soon be patient and good luck

if you take a look at the job market candidates from UChicago this year, only one guy has a formal journal publication others are nil but half of MIT guys have that is the difference!

co-author is fine but an always RA is not good Chicago profs rarely do co-authoring

a quick humorous question is are there some biased during the flyout period? will the professors just be friendly to allure the students now?

never a problem for me will continue to publish in journals the game already over let's see job market several years later

my point is just the randomness of adcom's decision to some extent hope some rejected good candidates will not be so disappointed with the result

thanks for this I should have put Development as one of my research area, hehe

cars sometimes do crashes and kill people but people still drive cars

I believe the adcom is doing some arts' work

the results are just against your expectation

It was necessary for me because I was out of school for 2 years. I felt that I was able to make my SOP interesting enough that they will spend the time to read the entirety. I talked about what inspired me to become interested in finance/development. What I did to gain exposure to these fields and to prepare myself for grad school.
