My current interests are in Macro, International Finance and Financial Econometrics, but I also have interests in Applied Micro. Looking for any input, which programs are the strongest out of UNC, ASU, UVA, and Indiana, in terms of training and placement. Any advice is appreciated!

I have applied to the Master in Business and Quantitative Methods (UC3M), Master in Econometrics (University Van Amsterdam), Master in Econometrics and Mathematical Economics (TIlburg), almost at the same time (one month ago). Two or three days after I received the admission in the Tilburg progam. Until now, 4 weeks passed and I don't have any notice about UC3M and UVA. Someone has received any news of these two universities?? Thank you very much

Hi everyone, I need your help... Where can my profile take me? PROFILE: Type of Undergrad: University of Amsterdam Undergrad GPA: 3.6 (expected 3.7)/4.0 Type of Grad: None Grad GPA: None GRE: Will take the test during this semester. I expect to be in the 90 percentile for Quantitative. Math Courses: Calc I (A), Calc II(A), Calc III(B+), Stats I (A), Stats II (A-), Intro Logic (B+), Advanced Logic (A), Dynamical Systems (A-), Linear Algebra I (B+). Also going to take Set Theory and Advanced Probability and Statistics. Econ Courses (grad-level): None Econ Courses (undergrad-level): Intermediate Micro/Macro (C, I had a really tough summer vacation), Economic History (A), Industrial Organization (A+), Advanced Micro (A), Econometrics I (A), International Trade, Growth, and Development (A). I'm going to take Advanced Macro next semester. Letters of Recommendation: One from a Board Member of Tinbergen Institute, one from a PhD from Princeton, and one from a Professor (PhD Oxford) who is important in his field. Research Experience: Will conduct my own research next semester. Teaching Experience: None Research Interests: Welfare Economics, Econometrics, Microeconomics SOP: Probably strong. Concerns: The C for Intermediate Micro/Macro. As I said, during the summer I had some strong personal issues that affected my performance during that semester. Applying to: Barcelona GSE, LSE, UCL, Bocconni, Toronto, Warwick, EUI, Duke. Do you guys think I have a chance here? What about some better ranked uni's (NYU, Oxbridge)? Thanks in advanced!!

I just received an $13000 TA offer from UT Austin. I also have an $17000 TA offer from UVA. So now I really don't know what to do. I'm interested in applied micro, labor, econometrics, but subject to change. Which one do you prefer if you were me? Could anyone give me some information/advice regarding the departments, professors, placement, cities, or anything that would help my decision? Thank you very much!
