好详细。。。。。。其实当年在打算出国的时候真心觉得这个项目是最良心的~~~~~~我觉得很神奇的是这个项目申phd真的好像不太好。。。。。。但是明明选课可以选高级课程。。。。。话说Georgetown和Umich项目就算录取较selective挑本科名校挑GPA先修课什么的。。。。最后申phd感觉也没这个项目好。。。。。反正美帝master都是坑爹。。。。。。就不在此吐槽了。。。。。

Having freedom in course selection (of adv. econ, math, stat) should be something really basic, and you cannot expect too much from a master from a school like UCSB (which is definitly cannot be counted as top) since the intake is not good enough.
I guess why some master dont allow selection of XXX:
1. adv. econ course: because they intake tons of master student to earn $$, and dont want to increase the class size of PhD class size to protect the quality of the teaching and faculty interaction their research student
2. math & stat course: I guess simply because the econ department may be required to share the earning (i.e. the tuition paid goes to the place where the student take the course) so allowing so will hurt the profit of the econ school

UMich MAE state explicitly that their program is not a preparation for PhD.......so it is completly reasonable that it is not really good while applying PhD........

虽然UMICH说了“the MAE is NOT an intermediate step to the Ph.D. ”，不过它在项目简介里有一句非常subtle的介绍
The MAE program addresses itself to the needs of three kinds of students:
(3) those who wish to strengthen their background in economics, math, or statistics, or who need to certify their ability to do graduate work in economics.
不知道如何理解这句话..

Unlike the Master of Arts Degree in Economics, the MAE is NOT an intermediate step to the Ph.D.



i will understand as:
choice 1. we will just sell a hope to you, but sorry, we will take the money and that's it.
choice 2. this will help you profile, but it will not be counted as any credit to our PhD program. student have to apply and start everything again if admitted.

i will choose choice 2: i.e. will help prepare one for PhD, but not at PhD level. seems like still okay then.

I am using my computer in my office so I can't type in Chinese. Sorry for that.
I agree to a part of what you said. However, you know what, I saw a Korean who graduated from the Umich MAE program go into the marketing phd program of Duke(if my memory is correct) and now she is a faculty of HBS. (You can check it on HBS website) Admittedly, MAE will not be a good step for Econ PHD. But it may be a good stepstone for business phd or public policy phd according to historical data.

剛才也是在office沒中文

maybe this is the reason wby they call it applied econ.


不過placement這回事，有時巿的很個人……人人背景不同，很難去分析一個課程的價值(甚至人人來說都不同。)

挺坑的。
以前觉得来读ma花钱天经地义，来了之后觉得为啥我要花钱来读个ma呢？
