I am currently a student of the two year MSc programme at Warwick (Diploma plus MSc). My objective is to get into a PhD programme ASAP. Since my undergrad was in business and finance I don’t have high expectations in applying to a top5 department in the US; even though my GRE score is very good (170 quant) and my GPA was 3.8. In Warwick’s diploma (first year of the masters) my final mark was 81 (“impressive” first class honours). I honestly believe that with this mark, and given my undergraduate GPA and GRE score, and can get into any MSc (or Mphil) in the UK starting 2016. My question is, given that I want to apply for a PhD, is it worth for me to “loose” one year and apply to LSE/Cambridge for the masters or I should stay at Warwick and apply now (to enter in the PhD in 2016)? Obs: I don’t mind doing my PhD in the UK as long as it is at LSE or Oxbrigde (since I am european). tks a lot :verydrunk:

Hey I am an international student (just comeplete my undergrad in Eco and Stats) and had applied for masters to UK universities this year (LSE, UCL, Oxbridge) I got an admit from Cambridge (for Diploma + MPhil - 2 yrs), UCL (MSc Eco) and rejects from LSE and Oxford. I was planning to take up Cambridge (for the name of the university mainly) and apply for the EME at LSE after my Diploma year. Just wanted to know from people here if its a good idea in terms of value added over a Cambridge M. Phil (The degree at LSE would be MSc after 2 years this way, at Cambridge it would be M Phil). Also mostly i will not be pursuing a Phd so wanted to know the comparative rating of M Phil Eco at Cambridge vs EME at LSE in terms of private sector reputation (consultancies, international agencies etc). Will be really obliged to get some advice on that!
