Is BGSE a good address for Econometrics?

Hi,

 

I have been admitted to Barcelona Graduate School's masters in economic program with full tuition waiver. When I researched I have seen that it has been highly praised for its macro classes. However I couldn't find any information on how it stands in econometrics. I would like to pursue a PhD afterwards (maybe in Upf if I can perform good enough) and I would like to do something in econometrics. I would be really grateful if you can share your thoughts or experience :)

It's not bad at all in metrics, but it's also relative. In my opinion it would depend on whether you hold any other offers. BGSE is indisputably excellent for macro.

 

Since I am planning to apply to similar EU schools for Master/Research Master next year, can I ask for your profile that allowed you to receive an offer with full waiver? Would be helpful!

 

And congrats on the offer!

Hi, thanks a lot. I eventually chose Tinbergen, which gives extra 1000 euros a month as stipend alongside with tuition waiver. And I generally heard its better for metrics.

 

I attended the top school in my country (which is in developing world). I am currently 3rd in my class. I have taken all advanced economics courses available (performed good enough but not excellent) and some extra math courses (but not real analysis). I took one graduate course and aced it. I have also participated in 2 research projects with prominent scholars from different schools in my country. One of my LoR's was from a professor I worked closely (so I assume it was very strong) and the other one was from a professor who was very strong but didn't know me that well.

 

I hope this will be helpful, and good like with your applications!
