.....got ya.... I knew you would read this if i ask you for your opinion :encouragement:!!! But to be serious, I recently finished my first semester in my masters. My first goal was to obtain a Phd in the long run but i am not sure anymore. One reason is that I did not perform as well as usual and some exams realy gave me a hard time. And at the end, my grades were average. I gave myself deadline (september) to decide what to do in the future (phd or not). This is just my background and one thought I carried around the last time. But do not misunderstand me, I am in a good mood. The question i would like to address to you is: Since I can choose only one specialisation, I am wondering what to choose. In general, I have two hearts in my chest. One is bumping for Macro and the other for Micro.....! Actually, there is a tendency for Micro. We have a field called Applied Microeconomics. And in this field, i am somewhat interested in behavorial economics and neuroeconomics... The question: Since I really would like to connect my profound knowledge in quantitative methods with my specilization, do you think it is possible in this field? Thx

I am on the waiting list too. I received the same text like luciano. Funny detail: the .pdf is named ilovepdf.com! They seem to use a freeware to convert the documents. btw.: does anyone know how many apllicants do not accept the scholarships??? Maybe beeing on the waiting list is not such a bad result...

Hi, I have been accepted by the Bracelona Graduate School of Economics (M.Sc. Economics). I am happy about this offer. But I am not sure whether to accept it or not. The reason for my concerns is that I consider my mathematical background as weak compared to others. I am not the worst and I think I can deal very well with math but I think the mathematical training at my undergrad school is below average. Are there any people with experiences with the BGSE programme? Thanks for every comment.

I am currently preparing my CV. As a undergraduate student, I worked as a student tutor. I was responsible for preparing excercises and teaching their solution to the students attending class. Is this the same like a teaching assistant? Can I write I worked as teaching assistant? I am not sure and I do not want to lie. :encouragement: I am from Germany if it helps anyone to answer this question. It is kind of urgent because I want to submit my application today (my personal deadline :onthego:). Thanks a lot to everyone.

LSE is stating that they expect their students to aim for at least 780 in the quant in the GRE. Depending on the admission procedure, they don`t even look at your application if they have similiar application profiles with quant>780 (I would do so to save time). But I am no expert. I am just guessing....

My short profile: Bachelor of Arts in Socioeconomics with major economics (Grade: 1,5. 1,0 is the best grade you can get in germany from 1 to 4) I have at least one good LOR and I am sure to get an other one. Toefl: 105 And I think I can write a good Statement of Purposes since I am very motivated. I want to apply for the Master in Macroeconomic Policy and Financial Markets. I am going to make my GRE in the beginning of february. Do you think I should wait for the GRE results to emphasize my capabilities or should I try to apply as soon as possible? Do you think they would admit me for the Msc. in Economics?

Can somebody help me solving question 8 and 10 b on the same page? I simply don`t get it.... and maybe 11 on the next page (if anyone has the book).

more precise: look into "view orders" in your toefl-account....

Found it: TOEFL: Internet-based Test: Test Preparation (look at the last free offers on this page). I think they put much effort into hiding it... ;)

I am preparing for the TOEFL with the help of princton review. They are mentioning a full-length practice test on ets.org which I did not find yet. Does anyone have any clue where to find the test mentioned? Thx for your help :)
