D, Economics Decision: Admitted Funding: ~Tuition remission (but not fees), slight healthcase subsidy, 17k stipend for TA/RA responsibilities (all years) Notification date: First week of February Notified through: E-mail Posted on GC: Not Yet, will Comments: Received an e-mail initially stating that my research interests were not aligned with the departments', but hoped that I was still interested.

Econhead Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Institution: Purdue Program: Ph. D, Economics Decision: Admitted (Probably off an unofficial waitlist-was not contacted previously) Funding: ~Tuition remission and fees, healthcare subsidy, 19k stipend for TA/RA responsibilities (all years) Notification date: 27 March 2015 Notified through: E-mail Posted on GC: Not Yet, will Comments: OMFG. Couldn't be more thrilled. I am officially breaking the mold of both my undergraduate institution (within my the department I came from), and generally speaking the institution that I am doing graduate work at. I'm beyond thrilled. This makes it possible for my wife and I to either live together or live in a close range. Amazing. Words can't describe how happy I am after 3 VERY LONG months of misery. Don't give up hope. Makes me feel like I deserve this. I think I do. I'm incredibly proud of myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
