Thanks!!谢谢大神师兄!!for MIA is GRE 154+165 ok?


这个成绩OK。trust me。有verbal 不到150 的照样来了,只不过之后痛苦一点儿就是了。
And I'd like to say more about the points from #29.
Though I know whom he is, I'd like not to mention it.
You need to get petition to select a course outside GPS while MCEPA has a privilege to be enrolled some doctoral courses in the department of Political Science and Economics without petition including POLI220(A)(B), etc and you are allowed to select at most 4 courses outside GPS which need petition. Additionally, you do not need to take some policy-oriented core courses in MCEPA -- means you have to except you are enable to waive one or several of them in MIA such Accouting and Finance, Internaional Economy, International Relations & Security, etc to avoid some young scholars lecturing these courses who don't have too much teaching experience. Then you have slots for other courses in department of political science or sth else.
Please see the link below to get more information of the MCEPA:
http://gps.ucsd.edu/academics/mcepa/index.html
And comparing it with MIA:
http://gps.ucsd.edu/academics/mia.html
Based on my own experience, MCEPA also means chances to get a closer working relationship with China-studies faculties not only in GPS but also in other departments which is obviously important for you and your academic goal.
However, you still could transfer from MIA to MCEPA after you get offer though it is a little difficult and the chance is rare.
However, I'll write something about MCEPA comparing with MIA and the experience of my first quarter at GPS to let the comming applicants know more about it later next week.

The suggestion from #31 is misleading for the following reasons.

1. For every PhD course, you need to get the lecturer's approval first. If you have the approval and your gpa is in general good standing (like above 3.6), there is NO REASON the GPS would reject the petition of counting PhD courses (at most 4), or other courses outside GPS, towards the degree requirement. The petition is merely procedural. Beyond 4, you can take as many courses as you please, as long as a) your have the lecturer's approval, and b) you fulfill the degree requirement, meaning that your coursework outside GPS does not count as credits.

2. I never heard of any "privileged enrollment". Again, you need to first get lecture's approval, and professors in PhD courses do not care which program you are from. Good GPA and other technical skills may indeed count and persuade them you are outstanding and are to learn yet more, other than say, "I have been studying Chinese communist party and its history for the past 10 years", etc.

3. "Young scholars lecturing these courses who don't have too much teaching experience". Well, UCSD happen to have the youngest, yet most promising young faculty group on China amid top 10 PoliSci programs. I don't quite understand why #31 seem to be offering seemingly contradictory suggestions.

On your point 1, you need space for additional courses in department of political science. And the courses structure of MIA makes you don't have too much space for these courses.
On your point 2, you never heard of any "privileged enrollment" because you may need to know more about the changed policy and the reason why they make MCEPA and what the differences between it and MIA/MPP.
On your point 3, young ones not the one at the department of Political Science, but the ones at GPS and just think about the courses you took such as accounting and finance and so on.
Time flies very fast and something has changed at GPS after you graduated from there.

Based on your response on #1, I am pretty sure you have no idea with how to fulfill the degree requirement of GPS and how to take courses outside department. Make sure you consult your idea with DGS before winter semester.

And let us see how you make use of your "privilege" after the winter semester, and may be you have more to say by then. Good luck with your petition for advanced PhD courses.

Personally I think it is a waste of time to discuss on this issue with someone who never walked into advanced courses and talked with professors. Just don't pretend you know everything.

I never pretend I know everything because I know there are  a lot of things I don't know and maybe never know nothing about them but at least I have a better know about what the MCEPA is and that's the reason why I transfer from MIA to it.
I intend not to say anything more and just remind waht Stalin said to Mao, "victor should not be blamed". Good for you.

MIA每年大概有一个人会拿到PhD offer。我现在才开始读,一切不好说。如果你还没提交申请,建议你再考一次 ...

请教大佬,MCEPA每年有几个人能申上博?本校博是不是相对好申一些?感觉这专业申不上博就只有回国吧,当地不好找工作吧
