Me too!!!! Let's connect guys. Have u guys found a place to stay or start looking yet?

hey, please help me decide on my graduate decision. i have not had any masters yet so i have been applying to some ms and phd programs. my choices are as follow: -PhD Wisconsin AAE (WL$) -MS at Wyoming Econ ($$) -MS at UC Davis ARE -MS at Minnesota AE -MS at ANU AERE -MS at Rhode Island MERE what would u guys do? Personally, I find it very unlikely that I will be funded for Wisconsin. Does anyone know any others who go into Wisconsin AAE PhD unfunded, and the later funded after their first year?

just got in Wisconsin-Madison also!!!! yay!!!!

I am studying in a country where an environmental economist is really rare, and none at my university. The one who is writing for me is ( i got the highest grade in her two month workshop) but barely knows me. I am taking the GRE again because I miss answering one math question and I would like a full score. What do you mean my UM amherst's heterodox leanings? In my SOP, I am talking about my family history which relies on timber logging and how I grew up with it, and yes it is very passionate. As safeties, would it be better to apply for Masters at UCSB, Wisconsin, etc or other lower rankings PhDs? Are there any funded Masters program? Thanks guys.
