Hey AnhKnight, are you currently a M1 student at Toulouse? If so, how do you like it? Is the teaching quality good? Do you find that the professors are approachable?

Hey everyone, I have been accepted into CEMFI (Msc.) and Toulouse M1 in Econometrics and Statistics. I want to pursue a PhD in economics, either in the US or maybe even continue at these places. I am having trouble deciding where to go. I was therefore looking for some advice in this regard. My research interests are in Econometrics and Applied Microeconomics. Toulouse has given me a fee waiver where as CEMFI has no funding. Toulouse has received some negative reviews on urch so I am confused. On one hand CEMFI is a smaller class with faculty that are very approachable (some have already contacted me and expressed interest). On the other hand, Toulouse is cheaper and also has good placements for its PhD program. Therefore I am very confused about my decision and any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello all ! I have been admitted into the M1 program at the Toulouse School of Economics. There have been several negative reviews about the program on this forum in the past. I was wondering whether these still hold true about the program or things have changed for the better. If anyone who is currently in the program or graduated recently could please answer some questions about the program I would be grateful. Thanks in advance! Questions are below: How is the quality of the teaching at Toulouse? Did you find the professors approachable? I have been admitted into the M1 in statistics and Econometrics program. I do not want to completely rule out private sector jobs in data science. In this regard how are the placements into the private sector? I am not an EU citizen so I know it will be hard. Even then, can I at least expect to get an internship between the two years? Or is this too difficult for internationals? How is the M2 program with regards to PhD placements? Overall was your experience positive with the Masters program (there has been an overwhelming negative feedback in the past on urch) Given my other acceptances are Cemfi (unfunded Msc.) BGSE (fee waiver), do you have any recommendations for me? Note: My goal is to do a PhD but I would like to also keep the private sector as an option. My professors at my undergraduate warn about how competitive the job market for academics has become. Therefore I would like to keep private sector roles such as data science as an option. Thank you once again for your help.

Thank you very much! No funding unfortunately. I think funding has been very tight this year judging from gradcafe. I am not sure about my decision. I am waiting for my fee waiver decision from Toulouse. Will make the call then. Best of luck to you!

TPA: I got an offer from CEMFI for the Msc. on the 10th of March
