I am finishing my first year of a Economics PhD program, and I am starting to think about how I should continue to study for the exams at the end of the summer. Anyone have any advice on how to pass the first year core exams? What are professors usually looking for to determine PhD or Masters pass? Any advice is appreciated.

I would suggest that Kentucky would be the better of the two.

I hope that you are right, but I have an Econometrics II exam (PhD level) in the morning, and don't want to be too distracted. Hehe

Yeah, I have been accepted to the program. I received a letter from the graduate school saying that I am being conditionally admitted upon the completion of my masters.

I was told that I am on the waitlist for a school that I have been accepted. Is it ok for me to ask where on the waitlist that I am?

Institution: University of Kentucky Program: PhD Economics Decision: Accepted Funding: No funding yet... Notification Date: Feb. 17 Notified Through: E-mail and Phone Posted on GC: No Comments: I hope they give me funding.

Actively waiting takes a lot of time, and energy...

Thanks

Does anyone know if there are any ARE programs that are still accepting applications with full considaration for funding? I know about University of New Mexico, but I am not sure about any others. Thanks!
