Fall is quickly approaching and many of our users may be considering furthering their study of economics with graduate school. The purpose of the grad school panel is to provide users a place to ask questions that may come up when considering grad school, navigating the application process, or managing the job market afterward.

We have an excellent list of panelists who have volunteered to answer questions. Feel free to tag any of the users below if you think their experience may be useful to answer your questions. We are still accepting panelists; if you would like to be added to the list please PM with me a brief description of your experience.

/u/exogeneity	Msc, Economics	Degree	Degree from top master's program; questions about UK schools

/u/UpsideVII	PhD, Economics	4th Year	AMA about grad school, admissions, teaching, or research
/u/VaporCloud		Last Semester of Grad School	focusing on financial economics and global economies; One of the main reasons why I got into the field was to give back so bother me as much as you need to!
