Hi!
I'm a Filipino student hoping to apply for PhD and Masters programs in Economics outside of the Philippines, for entry in 2016. I only know a small number of Filipinos who are pursuing such programs, and most of them are my professors who completed their studies decades ago when the admissions environment were definitely different. Knowing more of them would help me in understanding my chances in these programs.
Specific questions I want to know include: (1) what programs Filipinos have been admitted into, (2) what are approximate degree equivalences, (3) what opportunities there are in the Philippines to improve one's profile, etc. Knowing these would help me immensely in tackling applications.
I would just like to ask if there are Filipinos on this site who are willing to share their application experience and may be open to questions. Or maybe someone can direct me to an appropriate forum or website where I might find answers.
Thank you! :)
