    Chances for UK Masters (with US Phd being the final goal)

    Research Exp: Authored one research paper on unemployment and incarceration with a professor last summer.

    Other Stuff: Did a course on global trade and development this summer.

    Recommendations: Professor at Oxford. Well known here. Would definitely help with my application for the Oxford Mphil program. (professor taught at LSE and attended a top 10 institution in the USA)
    Another from a not so well known professor at my college. The professor knows me very well and the recommendation should be excellent.
    The third one is from a top professor from my department who attended a top 10 institution in the USA

    SOP: Should be decent.
    Research Interests: Trade, FDI,

    Am applying to LSE EME, Msc, Oxford Mphil, Cambridge Mphil (2 year track). What are my chances ? Should I be applying to other UK options? Which US Phds would I consider a fit ?
