Hi everyone, Because of Covid-19, GRE scores are not required to apply for Rice Economics PhD program during the 2020-2021 application cycle. Best, Hulya Eraslan DGS and Professor of Economics -
Does anybody know anything, such as questions will be asked or the process of the interview, about the Rice Interview? I also found on GC that some people were interviewed by professors but the other were interviewed by PhD students, like me. Does being interviewed by professors or PhD students imply anything?

Hi Everyone, Rice University will once again offer our popular online math camp this fall. For the first time this year, we will be offering two versions: An eight-week version starting on the 10/22. A self-paced version that you can complete on your own schedule between now and April. For more information or to register, please visit Rice Online.

Hi everyone, I am the Director of Graduate Studies at Rice University. Some of you may recall that I have posted previously about our online math and stat camps (see here: http://www.www.urch.com/forums/phd-economics/159050-math-stat-camp-rice-online.html). We are once again offering both camps online this summer. For more details or to register, visit our department website at https://economics.rice.edu/news/summer-math-and-stat-camps Best, Hulya Eraslan

Both are quite close in most of the rankings, some rank Rice above CU Boulder(US News) while others rank Cu Boulder better (Repec). CU Boulder Pros - It is really good place to live. Bigger department hence more and diverse faculty especially in IO and Development where my interests lie. Cons: Guaranteed funding only with 3.5 GPA which might get tough at times. Can't think of anything else Rice Pros- The program is attempting to get into top ones and have already hired a few good profs from Penn. Small cohort size and hence possibility of better attention from profs. Cons: To many profs in finance, environment and too few on IO and Development. Houston gets hot at time. Very few academic placements in past. So guys based on this and more information that you might have what will be better. I can really see the potential of Rice but the lack of profs and placements scares me. Rice seems to be risky with high payoff if it works whereas Boulder just seems to be a safe bet.
