Grad Schools

I am officially accepted at Rutgers. Since I haven't actually ranked the schools to which I've applied, I have no real way of figuring out if I'll accept Rutgers invitation. It's nice to know there's a school that will take me.

There are fourteen schools to which I've applied/am still in that damned process of applying. They are: MSU, Texas, Georgetown, Rutgers, BC, BU, Rice, Iowa, UCSC, Arizona, UCSB, UVa, Purdue, and OSU. The order is roughly the due dates for the applications.

I know Rutgers is good in economic history. UVa has an up and coming international and development economics program. Arizona seems good in experimental (behavioral) economics. Purdue has a very mathematically based program and a guy who knows monetary economics. Michigan State has a very respectable econometrics program. UCSC is a little weird, but the location is great and they specialize in international economics.

Those are the ones that I know something of the research conducted there. What I really have to do is sit and wait. And finish the Purdue and OSU applications. I'm not fond of either. But it could be worse. I might've had to wait without knowing if I'll have a place to go.
