Hi and thank you @econphd1992. I have mailed the MPA program regarding this but yet to receive any reply. In fact from what I gathered they have cancelled 511d which was apparently their version of advanced micro since 2014. But it used papa varian mostly. Now they run a pretty dumbed down 511c with pindyck I think. As for their metrics called 508c they seem to use only wooldridge. But they say that their econ and public policy track requires econ courses beyond the core curriculum. I wanted to know what that could actually mean. Do they just take advanced courses within WWS or can they venture out into the Econ Department.

There is a general agreement that top European masters like LSE EME are awesome prep for a top US PhD. But how do the first year of policy schools fare compared to them? Well ideally one could argue that policy school is not to be considered as a stepping stone for econ PhD but since so many have done it before, it begs the question. I especially would like to know how it is for the Econ and Public Policy track for Princeton WWS MPA. Their site says Econ and Pub Pol track students take econ courses beyond the core curriculum. Are they allowed to enroll for graduate econ courses provided they already have a solid econ and math background.

Bumping this up. Considering you can take Functional analysis Measure and Probability and EC487 along with a dissertation besides being a full year course, why hasn't it had the fanfare EME has. Is it because of the placement track record?

How many progressing from their MSc to MRes/PhD economics get funded. Are funding opportunities better for direct entrants coz I read from another thread that funding decisions get made well before MSc completion.

Hi.. Guys please evaluate my profile to see if I have chance at some of the top schools. I also have some apprehensions about my qualifications. My profile goes somewhat like this Undergrad in dentistry from a university in India with high second division.. It somewhat translates into 2.2 in the British system Did masters degrees in public policy and economics from an open university (widely acclaimed internationally) as I was busy with a job with 3.8GPA Still haven't sat for the GRE. How much does work experience come into the picture Target courses MPhil development studies or MSc ecovomics for development at oxford MPhil development studies at cambridge MPA ID or,MPP at HKS MPA WWS MSc development studies LSE To be frank I am quite apprehensive about my grades in undergrad and the fact that I did my masters from an open university
