SliferTheDragon Posted January 17 Posted January 17 22 hours ago, TheAM said: If you're referring to the amount it's quite transparent on their website: https://www.econ.umd.edu/graduate/financial-support No info (on gradcafe, and as far as I know no one I know applied there) about whether anyone got funding decision as for now though @TheAM I know this is the current pay but I think there is a good chance it goes up substantially by the next academic year (hopefully admits would know by April 15) because many programs have been made to greatly raise funding in response to grad student/worker demands. Many BU students just a few years ago would only get a 9-month contract for less than $30K and were on their own for the summer; now all admitted PhD students (across all disciplines, not just Econ) are guaranteed a minimum base pay of $45K over 12 months for the current academic year. From a connection, I also know that another T30 with similarly low PhD pay is planning to greatly raise PhD student pay across the board for AY25-26 to avoid a strike. 1 Quote
Appli Posted January 17 Posted January 17 Has anyone been invited to the Wharton Applied Econ interview? Quote

I heard something about BU since they suspended some PhD programs for this cohort due to this (sadly), but I didn't know the same was going on in other universities. Quote

I might be wrong because I don't know their usual timeline, but I think they might have just started reviewing applications. I am saying this because I emailed them my updated transcript a month ago, and I just got a reply today. 1 Quote
BAYESIAN1234 Posted January 17 Posted January 17 It seems you can check your admission status for OSU in their portal Quote
09876 Posted January 18 Posted January 18 Can anybody confirm HBS Business Economics interviews on Gradcafe comment section? Quote

TheAM Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Nortwestern angry rejection on GC: a troll, am I right? (they say master's, Northwestern does not offer a master in Econ so I'm quite confused) Quote

JusticeSword Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Having been really stressed throughout January, but I keep reminding myself that, compared to two years ago, I now have an econ professor from a top U.S. school as my supervisor, have proven I can handle first-year classes, have a pretty cutting-edge independent research project, and possess valuable predoc experience. Folks, don’t worry - every effort you make will pay off in the end. 6 Quote
okkkkkkkk Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Did any of you also receive an email from MIT Econ requesting fall grades to be uploaded? I'm trying to confirm if this is a generic message sent to all applicants. Quote

I’m sure they have some macro set up to automatically put your name in the message (not manually), and people who cannot figure out portals submit stuff over email all the time. 1 Quote
hopingforamiracle Posted January 22 Author Posted January 22 (edited) I don't even know if some schools have "Fall grades"... (i.e. European ones) but also, idk if anyone else other than MIT requires fall marks Edited January 22 by hopingforamiracle fix Quote
