hey thanks so much for your reply. Quite excited to study at Cambridge this fall to live the 'Oxbridge' experience. Hopefully it would be worth it

Also if someone could let me know whether will my chances to get into EME increase after the Diploma at Cambridge? Thanks again

Hey I am an international student (just comeplete my undergrad in Eco and Stats) and had applied for masters to UK universities this year (LSE, UCL, Oxbridge) I got an admit from Cambridge (for Diploma + MPhil - 2 yrs), UCL (MSc Eco) and rejects from LSE and Oxford. I was planning to take up Cambridge (for the name of the university mainly) and apply for the EME at LSE after my Diploma year. Just wanted to know from people here if its a good idea in terms of value added over a Cambridge M. Phil (The degree at LSE would be MSc after 2 years this way, at Cambridge it would be M Phil). Also mostly i will not be pursuing a Phd so wanted to know the comparative rating of M Phil Eco at Cambridge vs EME at LSE in terms of private sector reputation (consultancies, international agencies etc). Will be really obliged to get some advice on that!

Hey! I have lurked on forums for a while now and have got the impression that Cambridge is not really renowned for the strength of its economics department for placement to top US Phds. I am a non US, EU national and have jst been admitted to the diploma in Economics and plan to do the M. Phil as well. I do not plan to study upto Phd so is anyone aware of the department's reputation with the private sector for employment? I am interested in fields of Economic policy and have an admit from LSE for MPA in Social and Economic policy as well. Would that be a better option? thanks a lot in advance!
