@Vijayshreeeee @EconatIllinois Congrats!!

After quite an application season, I’m happy to share that I’ll be starting my PhD in Economics at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign this fall!! Lucky to have the kindest mentors, family, and friends in my corner. They sure made all the difference. @EconatIllinois :)

@ethan_bergmann @swarthmore Gooo, Ethan!

Had a fun time talking to @swarthmore about my prior research and future goals! Forever grateful for my time there and the faculty who helped shape me into the scholar I am today! swarthmore.edu/news-events/we…

@zaeemal_ Mine would have to be “lottery”

The word “preference” has been ruined for me forever

@PaarakhYasashvi It was scary for me too! All the best.

paying for and actually booking the GRE has made it too official and I don't want to anymore😭

@joshbudlender @arindube @DanieleGirardi_ This is awesome news! Well done Josh!! 🎉🎉

Dissertation defended, PhD done! Too many people to thank, but special thanks to my committee @arindube @DanieleGirardi_ and Matt Woerman. 🥳

@zaeemal_ @DukeSanford I was eagerly waiting for this announcement! Congrats!! 🎉

With the visa FINALLY sorted, I am super excited to be starting my PhD in Public Policy (Economics concentration) at @DukeSanford in Fall'24, In Shaa Allah! 🤲 As a lost BBA grad in 2020, I am proud of where I am today. I am grateful to have received guidance from superstars, 1/n
