Hi, everyone! I am an international student who earned a bachelor's degree and have recently been accepted to LSE for MSc Economics (2 years) and M.A. of Economics (1 year and a half) at NYU. In the end, I would like to pursue Ph.D in economics in the United States to become a research economist. I would like to hear your opinions on which school I should choose for my Master's program since I don't have anyone around me who earned a Master's degree in Economics. In terms of pursuing a Ph.D after earning my Master's, what would be my optimal choice? (Let us leave the living cost and the tuition fees behind although they are one of my biggest concerns.) Thank you for your opinions in advance! Wish you all have a great day.

FYI, just sharing my recent and very "fresh!" experience at the test center in New York. (Took a test 3 hours ago....) During the listening section, one of the staffs came to my test booth and interrupted me with some body language that I couldn't understand while listening to the test with the headphone on. I suddenly felt disturbed and lost focus as soon as her "improper and careless" manner approached me. It took me more than just a second to pull myself back together and indicated her with my hand waving sign that I was in the middle of something very important. She soon went away and left me with great angst. Due to a lack of listening comprehension in the lecture when she intervened, I had no context information and sadly was not able to answer some questions forth fully as I should. Later on, I was able to catch her message that she wanted me to lower the volume; a very absurd and undeserved reason to cut in when a test taker is taking a test. According to the test instruction, test takers are able to adjust the voice to whichever level of volume the computer allows them to. And to my understanding, my volume at the time the staff interrupted wasn't at the maximum capacity. After the test, I spoke to Test Center Manager and let her know the problem. She assured me that she would write a report on this which I felt skeptical. So, I wrote to ETS TOEFL Email as well in hope they could do something about this. I expect there will be some damage on my score due to this event and if my guts is right, I know my lost scores won't be returned. My malaise has now turned into exasperation at this point that I would like to request a proper action from ETS and TOEFL toward this misconduct. I hope and pray that my score on listening part, some of which that I missed because of this interruption, would be acceptable. I also hope and pray that I don't have to come back and retake the test again and if I have to, I truly hope and pray that I will not experience this unprofessional manner ever again. I would appreciate if they do a further investigation for a better improvement and for the sake of the future TOEFL test takers who invest their already frugal $170 on this test. Shame on you ETS.
