Most of my econometric professors tell me that MSU is very very strong in econometrics; yes, they do have pretty strong faculty. But Why I can not tell this from their placement?

The placement also depends on the calibre of the students too ~
: Kellogg (30K), Toulouse (Declined), LSE (Declined), BU (Declined).
: UMN, Duke, Wisconsin-Madison, Rochester, Berkeley, U Michigan, Columbia, Princeton, Maryland (soon), MIT, Stanford, UCLA.
: Wharton, Wustl, NYU.


I don't think that every university that's strong in the field X necessarily places every student who works in the field X well. I think in the past few years they did place a few students in research institutions. In the last three years I believe some of the better academic placements were: University of Oregon, Georgia Tech, and University of Pittsburgh. These are research oriended departments (first and last PhD granting) and its is extremely hard to get a placement there. I bet they were even interviewing some people from top 10 schools.
One of the new Econometrica/Experimental AP at FSU is from Michigan State as an initial placement.
