@EconOnly @lisacook We take into account many factors, such as the overall record and credentials of the individual applicant as well as the applicant pool to determine the appropriate level for every student. #AskAEASP

[Tony Doblas-Madrid @ToniDM]

Please keep in mind that, even if you already have your BA and/or MA and are interested in getting a PHD, you are still fully eligible for the AEASP. #AskAEASP

@EconOnly @AEASPmsu @drlisadcook @DrCMoser @DanielC39751899 Adding to the previous tweet about math, some relevant quant courses include Calculus I, Calculus II, statistics, econometrics, intermediate micro and intermediate macro. Other quant econ and math courses may also be relevant in this regard. #AskAEASP

[Tony Doblas-Madrid @ToniDM]

@EconOnly @AEASPmsu @drlisadcook @DrCMoser @DanielC39751899 Quant courses (econ+math) are important. Advanced students typically have 5 or more, and foundations 2, 3 or more. For applicants who are interested but have too little math, we review their records and recommend courses to take so they're ready next year. #AskAEASP

[Tony Doblas-Madrid @ToniDM]

@econ_gal8 @drlisadcook @DrCMoser @DanielC39751899 Definitely. There is an exit interview with students to discuss future plans. And we remain in touch with them on an ongoing basis, sharing advice on their next move and supporting their applications. Alumni also turn to other alumni for advice. #AskAEASP

Applicants often want to know how many students will be admitted into the program. Well, the answer is that approximately 35-40 students are expected to be admitted to the AEASP. #AskAEASP

[Tony Doblas-Madrid @ToniDM]

@econ_gal8 @AEASPmsu @drlisadcook @DrCMoser @DanielC39751899 All US citizens and permanent residents admitted receive financial aid. The econ major would be a plus, but not at all a necessary condition. Non-econ majors who are interested in econ and completing econ courses are definitely encouraged to apply. #AskAEASP

@paulgp @drlisadcook Adding to @KarlMuth's point, a more diverse student body comes with more diverse paths and perceptions. Instructors need to engage and see where students are coming from, not just geographically but in their experiences. #askdrlisa

@BlackPhysicists @drlisadcook @AEASPmsu We can certainly imagine #AEASP alumni contributing to society, certainly using #economics to improve public policy, but also enriching the general debate. #askdrlisa

@ri_sees We can at least say that the response to the crisis was better than in the 1930s. Then, as the economy started growing again, it lifted the banks. Low interest rates also helped with a refinancing boom. But in my opinion too big to fail remains a big problem. #AEASP #askdrlisa

@Kaleb_Javier @AEASPmsu @drlisadcook It's a surprise! All that can be said now is that it will be amazing! #askdrlisa

[Tony Doblas-Madrid @ToniDM]

@itsafronomics @AEASPmsu The highest math class expected before #gradschool in #economics is usually real analysis. As far as challenges for students of color on this path, important factors are advanced undergrad courses, networks, mentorship. #AEASP helps with all three areas. #askdrlisa

[Tony Doblas-Madrid @ToniDM]

@AEASPmsu @CoraTouchstone Students have lots of autonomy choosing questions. The program provides data sets, which helps given the limited time available, but students can choose what questions they want to answer and how to make use of data.

@ShaniaBunbury @AEASPmsu Microeconomics is generally considered a theory course, increasingly more theoretical, in the sense of mathematical, at more advanced levels

[Tony Doblas-Madrid @ToniDM]

Hi Javier, research projects are typically carried out by teams of two students #askdrlisa

[Tony Doblas-Madrid @ToniDM]

we had 140 applicants, 36 admits #askdrlisa

[Tony Doblas-Madrid @ToniDM]

Hi, this is Tony Doblas-Madrid, co-director. Last year we had 140 applicants, and 36 admissions. #askdrlisa
