confusedecon Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 As I've mentioned in a post before, I do have an offer for EME LSE which I'm deferring until next year due to financial constraints. This means I can also apply to other European schools in the meantime, especially because they're often cheaper. Which others would you recommend? I plan to apply to (on top of LSE) UCL, Oxford, Cambridge, TSE, PSE, UPF, CEMFI. The ultimate aim would be to apply to a strong school in the US after or get admitted to a strong PhD programme in the UK. Any others you would recommend?

dogbones Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Maybe PSME in Paris, if you like Russia the Vladivostock State University or Novosibirsk State University, or the Stockholm School of Economics (I hear it's a great place to live) ???

Awesome. Thanks, yes will add them to the list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutonic Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Personally, if you're eyeing for a top PhD programme, there's very few programmes that can beat EME, both in terms of prestige, as well as placement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbones Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Although, doing well in a non-EME program (I hear it’s ridiculously difficult) would be much better than having a bad class here and there in the EME... I think it depends on risk tolerance and ability to get involved in research/other things in addition to the coursework. You can always work as an RA after your masters degree (like I plan to do)...

confusedecon Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 Thanks for both of your responses. Funding is tough for me so I'm drawing on personal savings and loans from the bank, which aren't necessarily guaranteed next year, so just want to have some options just in case I can't attend EME. Although, ideally, EME is the goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
