'Cause I really have no idea about econometrics in Columbia.:blue:

Hi there, I got offers from these places and I want to do microeconometrics in Ph.D studies. Do you have any suggestions? Penn State is expanding their econometrics group. So I think maybe the department is rising in this field. UCSD has been famous for metrics, but funding is not as high as the other schools. Columbia is famous for macro I guess and I didn't find much information about the placement of the recent job market candidates whose field were metrics. Also, I heard that faculty there pay little attention to their students. But it's an Ivy and it seems hard for me to say no to the name of the school. So, what do you think? All comments are welcome! Thank you!

Thank you so much! Yeah, I think you are right. I need to think over what I need to put into it.

Really? OK. Thanks a lot!

Hi guys, I have a question about the length of SOP. Although most programs has a limit of 1000 words or 2 pages, UCSD's maximum is 2500. Then isn't it too short if my SOP is only 900-1000? But I cannot imagine a 2000 one with around 4 pages... What if the committee members did not know the maximum is 2500 and got bored when came across such a long one? Thank you so much　

You made me so curious~ what a small world~^ ^

Dear all, I'd like you to help me evaluate my profile and give me some suggestions to decide the ECON PhD schools I should apply to? Undergraduate A top university in China. Dual degree of economics and math Overall GPA: 3.53 Real analysis: 4.0 metric-theoretic probability is disastrous in grade, yet top 2% in ranking.(I doubt anybody believe the latter) Other math mainly on B, B+, some C..... Presentation in a conference in Japan Graduate Same university, econ master GPA: 3.87 A Paper under review by Journal of econometrics Visiting scholar of UPenn invited to an international conference (econ, but not in the field I want to focus on) RA for a half year GRE V161 Q170 AW 3.5 Math Sub 90% Letter One Stanford, one JHU, one upenn I'm interested in programs from Top 6-Top 20. Thanks in advance for all of you!!
