Any news from QMUL? I know that people here usually do not apply there, but just in case someone applied and had news. I am kind of super anxious about it. Thanks

Any further question you can just send me PM

So... with respect placement to US PhD, it is not very common and there is no one I know that was placed in US top 20. People usually go to places like PSE and EUI. The reason is that it is not intended to be a stepping stone program but their PhD first 2 years. What I feel is that (1) they do not select very well students (2) they do not have money to admit everyone (or a larger part) to their PhD. My 2 cents about US PhD placement. Students do not have time to apply to US PhD programs in the first year so the ones that failed apply to European programs that have later deadlines and usually do not require GRE and toefl as mandatory.

Is there anyone here that applied to Queen Mary and received interview invitation?

You can find the placement on the website. They list students name and where they were placed. It is not unclear. Someone said above that they fail 50% of the cohort. I would say that it is very optimistic. This year they failed 2/3 of the cohort. I can confirm this. About the program, it is very demanding and will be very hard to find a program with the same level of econometrics as UC3M. Regarding Macro and Micro training it is very standard, but econometrics is very tough because it is the main field of the program. With respect to the scholarship, 900 euros is more than enough to live in Getafe, even going to a bar all weekends (pretending you will have time). However, if you want to live in Madrid it will be a bit problematic.

Isn't the usual approach #offers > #cohort?
