MSc in Economics at LSE or a job at Poverty Action Lab

[segnoesogno]

Hi!

I'm an Italian student who is pursuing a Master Degree in Economics at Bologna University (Italy). To improve my CV and to raise my chances of getting into a good PhD, I applied and have been accepted in LSE for a Master in Economics.

Now I am also in a selection process for a post as field research assistant for the MIT linked Poverty Action Lab. Someone from PAL asked about my availability for a job, and I really don't know what to do...

What would you do?

Thanks!

Hi Cryspy!

I think it is a little bit late to apply now, but you can check on the website if there are still programmes open...

To apply you need standard documentation... GRE and Toefl scores, 2 letters, your transcripts, a statement of purpose...

Good luck!
Paolo

Move this question to the Econ PhD forum, you'll get more responses there.

Personally, I belive that the answer should lie in your current profile i.e. whether you need to take any more courses (LSE) or whether you just need LORs and research (MIT Lab) or both (LSE).
