if you have somebody at a different school and you can convince your own school it should be possible at a lot of schools that you have one of your advisors from a different place (I think H doesn't kill you if you work with somebody from MIT...). This also works if your advisor moves, some students will probably move along, some will stay and have a long-distance relationship :o....
the guy taking the course at NYU really had the inside track there through having been an undergrad at NYU and knowing their DGS and the course prof,.....and he even had luck with the schedule...
well, I don't really know too much about the macro placement in previous years, (well at least Yale is publishing it....) but one word of caution, the sample size is pretty small, profs came and leave so things are changing, and personal reasons might lead people who could have good academic jobs to leave academia (or at least leave the US...)
ok, enough defended, obviously I am biased (even if I am not a Yale Macroeconomist), and will describe my school in glowing terms
(from which you may infer that I like it there
)
