Does anyone have a sense of what criteria are used to determine who is “qualified”? Is it as GPA/SAT-centric as getting into college? How much previous Austrian knowledge is needed?

“Many attendees have said one of the greatest experiences of Mises University is the social time, when students actually do discuss lecture topics and issues relevant to Austrian economics with other students and the faculty, who are usually accessible.”

I bet there are a lot of arguments between the anarcho-capitalists and the minarchists. I know what side I would be on: ancap all the way!

I would concur, that the Mises U program was great. Dan’s right (Dan D’Amico? there were a few Dan’s at MU), it’s a pretty sure thing the program will be just as good next year. In my opinion, it got better from last year to this, and it was already great last year.

As Dan said, there was at least one high-school student there (we’re probably thinking of the same person). In my opinion, more high-school students would probably be a good thing — before college brainwashing.

Qualified undergraduate and graduate students are presumably welcome at Mises University. At least one high-school student attended this year, so presumably qualified high-school applicants are welcome as well.

I would feel comfortable guaranteeing that MU would be as fun a time next year, so apply early and come on down.

It looks like it was a good event. I wish I had been able to have participated. One person (a former President of the College Libertarians at UIUC) told me that a key reason that he would like to go to graduate school is so he could attend one of these conferences. Mises University is for graduate students, right? I am starting graduate school very soon.
