I saw a gap, quite a significant one, for master, between what you applied before (lse, duke), and your list above.

建議先冷靜一下. 要多申請做第二手準備之餘, 不要太恐慌.

I will strongly suggest you fill in the middle part first. 你這張list有一些應該是不需要申到那個位的.

额。。可以详细说说嘛？谢谢！我还不太了解这些我新看的program，不太晓得他们是什么档次的。。

看到楼主的数学成绩和课程我终于对今年的phd申请稍微有点了希望= =。。。。。。我觉得楼主写推荐信绝对不应该找高数老师写。。。。。。。外加我觉得楼主没有中级econ也是硬伤了。。。

好像跑题了。。。我觉得楼主的条件很不错诶，不过master真的申的略过度自信了。。。。。。duke那个也很难进的尤其在看完你的数学和econ成绩。。。如果想找跳板建议去欧洲的卡三什么的吧。。。不然申申加拿大的SFU什么的吧，加拿大的都是GT控，有奖也是好跳板

Duke is the only 1st tier econ school offering an academic Master in econ at this moment.
I guess you will be interested to have a look into UMich, BC, Turft is nice since funding (as they don't have PhD, so all TA/RA go to master student), dont know about Vandy, guess you will like to hv a look in UT Austin and U Minn Twin City one. Columbia one is still a myth to me though.

UK: try also UCL and Oxford, which is academically close to LSE indeed. Warwick follows.
Netherland: dont miss TI, Tilburg MPhil.
Canada: Queens.
France: TSE, PSE
Spain: CEMFI, UPF/BSGE
German: Bonn, Mannheim. two year master.
APAC: HKUST, CUHK (MPhil and MSc), NUS

also try Amsterdam, ERM and Tilburg's MSc, UZH, HSG, CityU (HK), HU Berlin (or BDPEMS), Konstanz, SGPE, Paris 1, Nottingham, Durham as backup. dont miss SU+SSE MRes also, SSE is also a choice.

simple rule = look more outside US.
top uni in US seldom offer master in econ. a couple of decent 2nd tier and the rest are just milking $$ from student (indeed true for all US master, but the top one will have return while not the case for the lower tier one). For the lower one, you will pay the huge tuition, but still have a super long shoot to those top or even 2nd tier school. US is nevetheless the leader of research, and have the toppest resarch institute - but it is not really something related to those who cannot enter those.
Case are a bit different for non-US world as most part of the world need a master for PhD application.

貌似楼上的大家都说的差不多了，定位太高。
所以就准备B plan吧（毫无疑问），觉得cheesechan推荐的非美国项目都挺好的，如果之后以phd为目标的话。
我基本可以确定，usc会给你发一封邮件，告诉给你转录ma。。。它家最喜欢做这件事了。
反正就patpat吧，申请就是这个样子的，优有时就会定位太低，有时又会定位高，还好楼主还有时间补救，所以最后的结果应该也会不错的。

lz显然是硬课不够啊。。没有数学课也没有grad level的econ的课。。这是我觉得唯一有可能的解释了。

卡三希望不大，卡三喜欢有硕士背景的学生，而且是有高级课程，欧洲的顶级项目，楼主想申请成功也很难

樓主好像連intermediate 也沒有..........這個問題很大: quite many master in econ, 尤其是較硬的那些, 都對這個有硬性要求.


老實說, 樓主的profile除了那一封推薦信, 沒有任何亮點.
打算走academic的, GPA都一定高.
學校沒優勢, 學術基礎不足 (not enough math & econ)

除非某個program很重視那一封信, 要不難度很高.


個人感覺這類case正正是要一個master, a solid one的那一種.
否則之後PhD year 1的coursework都夠受的了.

this is really common, for those department who have both PhD and master.

master是用來開源的 - source of $$, 當然會較積極地找好學生.
就像某些學校, 申一個較熱門的master申不上, 學校往往refer the applinant to another similar but not that competitive one.
