Graduate School Admission Results

Are we sure the interview is for Econ and not AgEcon?

TPB: Can you please confirm the interview is for Econ?

Those who have been accepted at Milwaukee , are you also offered stipend of $15000( plus $ 1000 award) for 9 months? I wanted to know if this was sufficient for a decent living in Milwaukee. How much does the university usually offer?

If anyone has taken the Wisconsin interview today and is willing to share any information, please do and thank you very much.

To people who got into UW-Madison, has the decision about added fellowship funding (that would eliminate the need for TAship in the first year) been given out? Or, will that come later into the admissions process?

$23k funding. One semester TA. Waitlist fellowship.

Informal email

Well, I just got the email, so I guess I was right...

12.5k funding. Is that enough?

But I do want to mention that you have the option to enroll in our Masters program. Given your credentials, we would expect you to enroll in the first-year PhD courses, and take the prelims in the summer (in 2015), and if you pass both prelims with at least a B average in the first-year micro, macro, and econometrics courses, you could then transfer to the PhD program. We would not offer funding in the first year (and the university does not allow us to grant tuition waivers), but if you do succeed in transferring to the PhD program, you would have guaranteed funding for years 2-4.

Rejected for Ph.D. Offered M.A. option. "We would expect you to enroll in the first-year PhD courses, and take the prelims in the summer (in 2015), and if you pass both prelims, you could then transfer to the PhD program."

Accepted with university fellowship.
