  1. Someone here who has been admitted to UC3M?
  2. Hi there, I saw the message in GC. I have some doubts, maybe is a fake. Someone may confirm CEMFI has sent letters yet?
  3. Not in my side. I'm waiting the "holy" letter.
  4. Someone with news from UC3M or CEMFI? Keep in touch before the classes!
  5. Anyone can recommend me good (and unexpensive) places for living in Madrid (center, not Getafe)?
  6. Be careful, I heard some very bad news about the funding, the organization and the importance of Ph.D. students in the department, from some insiders. Moreover, the placement is not very well. If it is your unique option, go. But, if you have alternatives, think twice.
  7. Go to the program which offers you full funding, even when you have enough money for supporting yourself during some years. Funding is a signal of how they value your background and, especially, how they think about your potential of success.
  8. Thanks! It's the common offer: 909 euros plus tuition waiver for the first year. Obviously, the funding for next years is conditional to satisfactory performance in the program. Do you know how is it at Cemfi?
  9. Hi there, I received the acceptance letter from UC3M one week ago! Now I'm waiting for Cemfi answer which is, until now, my first option.
  10. Hi everyone! I will move to Madrid the next year so I'm planning to apply to PhDs in Economics there. After some research on the internet, I found UC3M and CEMFI are the best programs in the city. However, I do not know more details about them. Please, if any insider read this post, can you give me some insights about the two programs? I know there are some posts about these schools but I would like to get updated information about these topics: The attrition rate How is the quality of the training in each school? The main strengths The best professors The support during the Ph.D. process How good was the job market this year? Ex-ante, I would like to specialize in macroeconomics and econometrics. Thanks in advance for your help!

  13. Dear all, I’m going to apply to some American/European universities next year, but I have doubts about my real level, I don’t know if it’s enough to get a place in some of the PhD Economics programs I’ve in mind. I would appreciate your feedback. PROFILE Type of Undergrad: Bachelor in Economics, from a top university in a South America country. Undergrad GPA: 4.0 Econ / 3.8 Math / 4.0 overall (first class honours) Type of Grad: Master in Economics, from one of the best program in South America, with a good PhD record. In the last recent years they put people in the PhD program of Harvard, MIT, Chicago, Stanford, Berkeley, LSE, NYU, UCLA. Grad GPA: 3.2 (graduated with academic excellence). RESEARCH EXPERIENCE Internship in the Research Division of Central Bank. Working Paper about fiscal policy (coauthored). Working Paper about monetary and macroprudential policies (DSGE model with financial frictions). My master thesis has two distinctions (the best qualification in the master program). I’ve skills in Eviews, Oxmetrics, Stata, Matlab and R. TEACHING EXPERIENCE I’m a teacher of a top public university in my country. I teach Macroeconomic Theory II and Dynamic Macroeconomics (RBC and Neokeynesian Models). LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION Two of them from my teachers of the master program, both have PhD from MIT but are seniors (> 60 years old), one is a distinguished academics and the other one is more oriented to public policy. The last LOR is from one of the most reputed academics of my country, PhD from LSE. All of them are macro oriented. CONCERNS I don’t take GRE and TOEFL yet, maybe in May of the next year (2017). I'm macro oriented…maybe more than is necessary. APPLYING TO I have these universities in mind: UCLA, NYU, LSE, UC Berkeley, Boston U, Northwestern, Columbia, Minessota, Pennsylvania, Cornell, Duke, Brown, Rochester, BGSE, CEMFI and UC3M, Conditional to a good GRE and TOEFL scores, do you think is it a competitive profile for universities I plan to apply? Thank you for the opinions.
