I received offers for MSc Economics at UCL, MSc Econometrics at LSE and PhD tracks at CEMFI,Tinbergen and BGSE. I would like to continue in the PhD program after finishing the master's level and my research interests are labor and applied microeconomics. I think that for labor and microeconomics, UCL and LSE would be the stronger programs (please correct me if you think otherwise). However, I am worried that I will have hard time getting a distinction and continuing in the PhD track. Moreover, I fear that even if I am able to get into the PhD track, I will not get funding and I will be forced to leave the program after all the work, while CEMFI and Tinbergen offer virtually complete security in staying in the program as well as funding (BGSE offers partial funding). I was wondering if you guys have a better idea of what the chances for a distinction are and even more importantly, for getting funding at UCL or LSE after getting into the PhD track. Do you think the risk of going to the London schools will pay off? Thank you so much for your help.
