accepted! Is BGSE a good address for Econometrics?
owly replied to owly's topic in Graduate Admissions
Hi, thanks a lot. I eventually chose Tinbergen, which gives extra 1000 euros a month as stipend alongside with tuition waiver. And I generally heard its better for metrics. I attended the top school in my country (which is in developing world). I am currently 3rd in my class. I have taken all advanced economics courses available (performed good enough but not excellent) and some extra math courses (but not real analysis). I took one graduate course and aced it. I have also participated in 2 research projects with prominent scholars from different schools in my country. One of my LoR's was from a professor I worked closely (so I assume it was very strong) and the other one was from a professor who was very strong but didn't know me that well. I hope this will be helpful, and good like with your applications! -
Thanks a lot! This reply was really helpful and I have chosen Tinbergen:)

Hi all, Got accepted to both programs in economics. Barcelona offers tuition waiver and Tinbergen offers tuition waiver+1060 euros monthly stipend. Barcelona seems to be a more praised school but I have no idea what is the continuation ratio to UPF from there (which I would prefer). I have found scarce comments on Tinbergen but it is almost certain you can continue studying for PhD there if you perform well enough. Also they give enough to cover my living expanses, which is amazing. I am leaning towards Tinbergen but also I am very confused. I am particularly interested in studying econometrics (preferably applied). Any help and comments would be appreciated; I am in need of serious help!

Hi, I have been admitted to Barcelona Graduate School's masters in economic program with full tuition waiver. When I researched I have seen that it has been highly praised for its macro classes. However I couldn't find any information on how it stands in econometrics. I would like to pursue a PhD afterwards (maybe in Upf if I can perform good enough) and I would like to do something in econometrics. I would be really grateful if you can share your thoughts or experience :)
