@Rohanps, That seems directly relevant to me. Would you mind giving a bit more color your undergrad and the masters? Do you think the US universities recognize Warwick as one of the top UK economics programs? What do they think about Warwick economics masters as a preparation for PhD (apart from the grading issue you mentioned)? What else could one do to convince the US universities? Would you mind sharing some more of your experience? Thanks

Thanks for your replies earlier. I'm back with a more specific question: I have been admitted to M.Sc. in Economics from Warwick (1-year). I perhaps have a chance to switch to M.Res. in Economics (2-years). 1. How is Warwick economics perceived when it comes to Ph.D. admissions in the USA? 2. I can defer the Warwick admission and perhaps try to do a Master's from a U.S. university next year. How would that place me versus just going ahead with Warwick? 3. Should I switch to M.Res? It is designed as s pathway to Warwick Ph.D., which will take a further 3 years. Will a switch to M.Res. improve my chances of getting into a good U.S. Ph.D program? Thanks in advance for your pointers.

Hello, I am doing my undergrad in Econ from a good university in the UK. I am planning to do a Master's as well from the UK. I am planning to do a PhD from the US - hopefully from a decent school, if not a top one. How do the US PhD programs view applicants from the UK? Are the UK students naturally at a disadvantage? Thanks
