最近版上都在报Phd的各种AD offer, 祝贺各位大牛!由于本人比较不行,所以都申请的水项目。拿到MSPE比较早,问来一些信息。是从MSPE项目的associate director那里问来的,和大家分享一下,具体请大家甄别,也攒点rp希望好学校快快来。那个director特别好,回邮件非常热情,每次都是重新启邮件,把我的问题黏贴下来一一回答。
下面是问来的东西:我直接贴Prof. Ali回答的原文吧。
(1)关于人数 There are currently 115 students in MSPE program and about 40% of them are from China. A large majority of these students will either graduate in May 2011 or in August 2011. The size of MSPE core courses are between 40 to 45 students. The size of field and elective courses are usually between 20 to 30 students. (2)跳板作用,是不是可以选难度大一些的课程 Yes. One of the goals of the program is to prepare you for PhD program. You have the option of taking economic PhD courses or course at mathematics or statistics departments (provided your advisor approves it).
(3)中国学生出路
Most of the Chinese students return. A few of them can get admission from PhD programs. Some find internship or job here. Unfortunately I don’t have exact figures.
(4)毕业生被录取的学校
Here are the names of some universities :
UIUC-economics
UIUC-ACES
UIUC-Regional Planning
Simon Frazer-BADM
Rutgers-Economics
Michigan State
Boston-Economics
Georgetown-Economics 当然啦,这些信息请大家甄别,本人也是在取舍中。
