Let's be clear here. Unless you get into a Top-5 US Econ PhD program, then it is simply not worth it to do an Econ PhD anymore. The job market is terrible, and will be worse 6-7 years from now when you might finish.
You'll save yourself a lot of misery and years of wasted effort if you avoid making a crucial mistake now. Don't bother with these programs. Either get into a Top-5, or move on with your life in a more productive way.

Programs at this level are not worth attending unless you're trying to escape a third world country with no good prospects.
