Hi everyone, I have recently been accepted to the CUNY graduate center with tuition + stipend. Although the overall ranking and reputation of the program at CUNY is not the best, I applied there and am considering it because of its focus on finance and its availability of a huge group professors whose main focus is in financial economics. I couldn't find any program that had that many professors in financial economics. On the other hand, I also have a competitive offer from UC Irvine. Although UCI is not known for financial economics, there are professors who I can definitely work with, and their focus on data science is really attractive. I would have to say that I am happy with landing a good industry job as both places are not the optimal places to go to for academic positions anyway. With that being said, I think CUNY's advantage is its huge faculty (and courses) in financial economics and location. But I do not know interactive the faculty is with the grad students. UCI has slightly better reputation and offers a MS in Statistics and one of their labs focuses on deep learning which I can definitely take advantage of and utilize in so many fields including finance, tech, etc. In other words, I feel like I will learn more technical stuff there. Anyways, can any of you provide any insights/advises on which one I might be better off choosing? Thanks!

Dear all, thanks for the great advice about baruch cuny. Just got a great update from Tippie. And now I have to choose between these two. I love all the schools that I applied, so at least there is no research interest bias here. Which one would you recommend? Thanks a lot !!

Hi everyone, I am recently considering a master degree in economics. CUNY looks like a good choice but i got a bit confused by its system. Hunters and City college of CUNY both offer this kind of program and I was wondering is there anyone familiar with these programs and can tell they differences/ emphasize? I am pretty much interested into health economics especially concerning on medical insurance system. I did see some professors' profiles of hunters, plenty of them are studying this subject but i heard city college has a better reputation. And also any other recommendations of economics MA in NYC?

Hi Everyone, I have fellowship offers from CUNY and American University for Economics PhD and I have to make a decision by April 15th. The fellowships are roughly the same value (18K for CUNY and 19K for American). Many of you will advice me to look at the professors of each program and see if I have similar interests to theirs, but to be honest, I am not really sure what I want my focus to be. My general interests are macro and development, which are way too broad to be deciding factors. Which program would you choose? Thank you in advance!
