  1. UM-Madison? ASK YOUR MA PROGRAM DIRECTOR ABOUT THEIR PLACEMENT
  2. Your 2.2 Undergrad GPD at LSE and Low? GPA at UCLA ------> Give up your PhD dream, go to find a job. Do not waste your time and money for the application. This is a really serious suggestion.
  3. LOL. Madison Troll. Thank you. I went to Madison last month. IT IS LIKE A SH** H***.
  4. First year TA is miserable sometimes. You need to consider the budget cutting as well. Although Wisconsin claims that they use their masters as cash cows, it is still hard to say that they would have more money in the future to porch more seniors. Also, Maryland's placement looks pretty good and as I know at the visit day, Wisconsin underplaced their students as usual. To be fair, I have offers and visited both schools. Madison's weather is horrible and college town (S...., you know what I mean).
  5. Do you think that you are willing to spend 5-6 years in your life in a ****** 150 -200 program? Not even sure is there such lower rank school......
  6. 80-90% academic job? So you just care about the quantity instead of the quality? If you are a star, go to WUSTL, you will get a lot of resources, otherwise consider BU. BTW, from my experience, it is better to email or go to the visit day and talk to the department's faculty about your concern, you will get more useful insights.
  7. I have contacted them and they told me that they would release the information soon.
  8. I have the Wisconsin offer as well. In my opinion, Wisconsin is a little bit downgrade trend recently but they are still looks very strong and better than WUSTL. However, WUSTL is upgrade trend and their Macroeconomics group gets better and better.
  9. Many UCSD offers just include a 6k scholarship so if you are admitted with 20K, you should really consider it. By the way, go to the visit day and check it out.
  10. [h=3]I will go to Michigan's visit day this Friday. I plan to dress in business casual. What is the dress code for the visit day? I hope I could get some answers from those who have already attended the visit day, what others in the visit day dress up?[/h]
  11. I do not know the attrition rate but I will go to the visit day and ask the rate. I have looked up the recent placement page, if Brown admits 12 people each year, only 5,6 can graduate which means almost 50% people quit the program.
  12. Interesting. I do know BU has bad reputation (history) that fail a lot of people after the first year. Do you know what is the living cost of Providence?
  13. I have got offers from these three schools with full funding and my research interests are Development Economics and Macroeconomics. I searched the placement and found that Maryland may have the best among these three department. However, since Maryland targets a smaller class size this year and some great people left the department these years, I am worried about the future of the department. Hope you guys can give me some thoughts.Thank you very much!
