Any of you guys go to GMU? I'm considering economics graduate school at GMU Fall 2012.

I have a friend who's older brother that went there. Loved it. He was also worked there for a few years in the Admission Department. Before he took a job at another college.

Hey, that's good to hear. They have a great Austrian/free market economics program. Ideally, I'd like to maybe find someone from Tech who could put up a graduate student for a couple of years. Of course, I'd have my B.S. and would be working. Renting a room would be much more affordable.

That is a lot of money. The graduate tuition out-of-state credit hour rate is $1046. It would cost around $30K for the M.A.

I haven't visited it yet. That may be a good trip to take sometime this year. I specifically looked for non-Keynesian-focused programs that teach Austrian and free market economics, e.g. NYU, Suffolk, WVU, GMU, etc. I will graduate next Spring with a B.S. Mathematics and Physics minor. I have taken only Intermediate Macroeconomic Theory. I hope they let me in.
