看他家的网站上写的好像很厉害的样子

记得上一届的大概有4-5个学长都申到了这个项目，但是最后没有一个去的，这个项目这么弱吗？还是因为学费比较高？

我个人觉得是因为BU学费比较贵，同时录取人数较多吧，BU和UIUC都是录取100人左右呢。

不知道从他家经济硕跳他家经济博怎样，如果那个比较简单的话就觉得去BU也不错哈

应该只是一个recommend吧，应该不是cut-off

感觉作为recommend都太不现实了。。我也听到有学长学姐3.0去了，所以应该只是写着玩玩的

this is from a professor in economics at BU who is a friend of my friend at Kellogg.
He recommends BU and Duke.  I thought it was interesting that he said that Duek and BU are two of the only places where the research faculty teach in the MA program and take the courses seriously.
