真的么？Duke是挺难，但大家对NYU难度的评价差异非常大。我是top 5学校的，上届和上上届各有一个学姐，都 ...

被NYU拒可能是 overqualified 吧。而且还是看你是什么趋向的，毕竟NYU的那个主要是对应找工作的，Duke的项目还是更偏向学术的。如果是明确要读博的，NYU很可能会拒啊。master的项目都不会很难申请。boston那个对托福要求较高。其他的几个都不是很难吧。

boston就是speaking要求23，那还可以。像Chicago丧心病狂要求26……TAT臣妾做不到啊
我还是打算就业导向啦，所以也不是一门心思想Duke，就求学校一个big name加location好一点。谢谢你让我有点信心啦~！

你要知道，你的分数是跟中国学生在比。有竞争力的大家Q都差不多，然后绝大多数人不是3就是3.5，所以你的 ...

as far as I am concerned, 经济这方面是完全不看GRE的，至少至少，在funding方面SOP都比GRE重要好多

我觉得其实现在很多牛人申econ是怕finance竞争太激烈，拿个econ做垫背……他们不想学术，最后也会跳去投行，但对我们造成不小压力……

you mean all the students in ONE program? if so, this is not a independent sampling.

Half in 1 econ phd program, half in other econ phd program and other fields. I hear from them, they hear from their advisors. nobody guarantee anything for future admission. You really don't need to say I am talking about only one case, since we are all offering info we have to others and nobody is indeed authentic in admission process. I said "as far as I am concerned", which indicates that my info is limited as my personal view. My purpose of giving such info is to let the guy get rid of dilemma of choosing GRE score and focus more on the application process as a whole.

“you are talking about one case ” is just a euphemism of "I cannot agree with you"
according to my personal experience, quite a few professors told me that GRE,especially the Q section，is one determining  factor of funding. One truth is that there is huge variation in commitee's preferences so we should never be arbitrary.

When I was in exchange program talking with professors in US, they told me that Quantitative is quite important, and they strongly recommended me to apply for PhD directly, saying I am qualified and ambitious. But ... I am competing with Chinese students, right? So actually it is not that easy for me to apply for PhD?

agree to the last sentence

I don't know... When I communicate with professors in US by email, they again recommended me to apply for PhD directly... As far as I know, few undergraduates have the ability to do that!
In PhD admission, do US schools have different criteria for national and international students?
