Really a Zero-Sum Game

$2324.

That's how much my 25 graduate applications will cost me, including sending my GRE scores - this is kind of ridiculous. Undergraduate applications were nothing like this at all. I am applying to so many schools because it is very hard to get into grad schools and random luck plays a large role in applications since the incoming class size is often less than 30 or 40.

While writing this post, I took two schools of my list. I can afford to be more selective about schools since I am interested in labor and education economics. Most schools don't have faculty who seem to be really into it.

Go big, or go home...?
