  1. heyy,... I was admitted to a PhD program in Economics. I would like to read something before starting the school, because I feel a little bit unprepared. Could somebody recommend me some books about Applied mathematics (I think Schaum's is good ), Micro or Econometrics? What would you suggest me to read or do before going to study in USA?
  2. I was admitted to Clemson University with a teaching assitant position. I got full tuition remission and 15 K stipend per year. How much money should I have in my bank account? Do I have to cover the living expenses? This is a part of the email I received : " University tuition, fees and health insurance costs are subject to change without notice. You should not plan to obtain a graduate student assistantship or other financial aid after your arrival if you have not already been offered such assistance. If you are offered an assistantship, a portion of your tuition will be waived by the university. In lieu of tuition, the Graduate Assistant will be required to certify the current amount for fees ($2,040.00 per year), living expenses ($12,239.00 per year) and books & supplies ($940.00 per year). "
  3. Sorry for the long delay in replying to your message. It is difficult to say which schools you should apply to without knowing your full profile and research interests. However, if you want to get in somewhere in the top 20, you should try retaking the GRE for the score closer of 780 or better (aim for 800). A score of 750 is probably okay for schools ranked below 30th or so, but a lot depends on the other aspects of your profile.
