Hi All! Does anyone have any idea how hard it is to get accepted to UIUC Econ PhD program as it's ranked among the top 30? And how are the admitted student profiles? Thank you in advance! -
Hi all, New to the forum. I have a few basic, rather native, questions. 1. Do the job markets for ag econ and general econ Ph.D. graduates overlap a lot? 2. Do ag econ Ph.D. graduates have a good chance at industry/non-academic jobs? 3. For industry jobs, does the department ranking matter as much as the university's overall ranking? For example, the University of Florida's ag econ is ranked pretty low, but the university as a whole is decently ranked (top 100 in ARWU and USNWR globally). So if I am targeting an industry career after PhD, should I go, in this particular case, to Florida or Kansas State (ranked considerably higher among ag econ departments but pretty terribly in overall university ranking) (let's assume that I have professors I want to work with at both these places). Look forward to the response. Thanks

I am wondering how competitive admissions are to lower ranked ARE programs? Is it as necessary to have as substantial of a math background as for other programs?

Hello forum, I'm not the strongest applicant, but a year on the job hunt has me convinced finding a good position with only an Econ BA is tough. I'm looking to apply to an Econ PhD program, because of the potential for funding and a love of research. I would consider calling it quits after getting the complimentary Masters, but that's another conversation, maybe. My profile has flaws, but I am optimistic I have a shot at lowly ranked programs. 165Q, 161V no letter grades, moderate performance in Econ classes, Lin Alg, Diff EQ, calc 1&2, Real Analysis 1 wrote a decent senior honors thesis using SAS have worked non-Econ research assistant jobs since graduating undergrad inst. has moderate rep but good grad-placement (small, public liberal arts college in US, top 50) so, I am interested in the economic demography/labor/human resources and see myself working in the public/nonprofit sector, likely outside of academia. Can anyone recommend programs ranked, say, 50th or lower that have strengths in those fields? I'd be tremendously grateful. cheers, RC
