I think Oxford is approximately on the same level as Penn, Columbia, NYU, which is at the edge of so-called top 10

Your GPA is too low to be admitted by Oxford, since the average GPA of admitted China's students are around 3.95

You HAVE TO take the GRE test rather than GMAT! If you could get a pretty high score (V160+Q170+AW4-4.5), I think it is pretty easy to be admitted by LSE and Cambridge, but Ox is apparantly more difficult. Actually, as for difficulty also placement, I think Ox>Cam>LSE

I reckon it a money machine, the courses are not well-designed, and some of the teachers are from Barnard, which sounds bad

Any record about the placement of the Cambridge MPhil program?

Thank you so much for your kind reply. Actually, I live in China, and you can see some of my updated situations. Notts is also a good one, esp in Behavioral Econ

Oh, that seems to be really attractive!

I have updated some of my background

Hi, I have got several offers from those so-called "stepping stones" masters, including Cambridge MPhil Economic Research, Duke M.A. Econ (40% tuition waiver), LSE Msc Econ, TSE M1(Full Funding), UBC M.A. Econ, U Chicago Harris MACRM CUHK MPhil Econ (Full Funding) Due to some personal reasons, I would consider Cambridge MPhil and Duke M.A. only. My goal is the top 20 Economics PhD program in the US or Oxbridge or LSE in the UK, so Cam and Duke: Which one might be better?
