问一下LSE的Msc of Finance and Economics

是无等等UID: 3582332

搜索了很久没有发现很多信息，想了解下这个项目继续phd的情况，还请各位多指教:)
进入research track然后留在LSE读finance的难度如何？以及LSE的phd与北美20左右的phd相比如何？
或者大家关于这个项目的其他看法，谢谢！

FE里面还是有不少神人的吧：EME项目里面还有UCLA的数学博士，哈佛数学本科，那鉴于FE录取率低于EME这一事实，FE肯定也是神人辈出。再这样一个环境里面拿到15%的ranking自然也是不简单吧。。。
还有就是LSE的金融PHD，从placement来看的话，应该是和美国TOP10差不多的

Thanks for your opinions, good points. This is definitely a competitive program. But it seems it is more industry-oriented, so i guess the majority would focus on job hunting rather than taking courses.  Do you know someone in this program? What's their background like?

i do know someone in this program whose GT and GPA is high enough to reach programs like Princeton, but her internship is far from enough. She was firstly rejected by Msc Finance, but afterwards, she was lucky enough to enroll in Msc FE

恰好认识几个这个项目一年级的学生，有中（山）大学本，上财本，NYU本等。应该没有楼上说的那么夸张。。
（学术）背景应当是不如EME学生的，如本科大多没有数学学位。发展方向也应该都是job hunting。手上应该都有一些internship。。

Thanks. EME should be the harder one to get in.

Yeah, I mean her hardware is truly exceptional, and she had the chance of being admitted to PU. But internship is too important a thing for a finance applicant. Another fact is that the difference in the students' backgrounds in LSE is always beyond imagination.

Mind sharing details of her background? Just out of curiosity.

这个项目应该挺学术的。微观是跟我们（EME）一起上的。不过貌似是金融系的项目，经济系只要拿D就有phd admission（钱另说），金融系有没有这个政策就不知道了

哈哈，我指的是顶级标配的意思啦。
另外，申请普林的该项目什么都比不上去北卡交换来的重要吧
