可以的啊，有些program会招学经济学的学生，并不需要学那么多统计啊，我们学院不也有人去学统计么，美国有很多不错的master programs，包括统计还有新开的很多data science，你应该多看一下，你可以申上的。
btw 我是学姐，是，我现在是在学统计ms~

但是感觉这一类去申基本没机会奖学金 对吧？ 虽然爸妈蛮支持的 但还是不希望一直靠他们 给他们经济压力

去美國讀master不要預期有獎學金，要準備好學費＆生活費是必須的…

如果你想读phd的话还是得来美国，虽然没有奖学金但是有的可以有part-time TA 可以做，总之还能挣点钱，或者你直接申美帝phd，可以在30-50之间看看，建议你申UTAM，应该有比较大的概率。不过如果你只是想读master而且也不想花那么多钱的话，欧洲也不错。不过你要是最终想来美国，省那点钱还不如省一些时间。

tons of reason of going to do a master in economics other than US:
1. quite many (if not most) good master economics are not in US. Most of the top economics school are in US, but nearly none of them offer a master (due to the difference in US and non-US PhD education system)
2. going to US to do a master won't save any time when comparing to doing a master in Europe (given the length of the master is the same). one have to start the PhD later from year 1, most likely without any credit transfer.
3. the obvious reason is tuition fee. but indeed the best economics master in europe are in UK (like LSE, Oxford), and the tuition fee is not low too.
4. Of course one can do a part-time TA in US, but well......this is still the same elsewhere. of course some countries that are short of funding will have much less position.

P.S.
and indeed I don't see why "想读phd的话还是得来美国"..........
that's true that the best econ research school are in US, and it will be very attractive to go to US if one get an admission from them; but if one is not able to get into those, but only some 2nd tier one........
for example, if we are talking about school up to top 5, or top 10 level, it may be a bit diffcult to find school elsewhere up to this level, but if out of this range....I don't see why US is a must.

I totally agree with you. Before I come to U.S, I got the same suggestion as what you said. It is indeed very difficult to get into a good master program in Economics in U.S since there is very few.  Unfortunately, I didn't apply for any of the Europe programs two years ago so I only have a few choices of U.S programs so I have to come here.

Now I have been in U.S for nearly two years and I know more than what I knew two years ago. There are many ways to get into a good PhD program in U.S, not only to do a master study in Economics here. I agree that Top 5 and Top 10 are really difficult to enter and it needs strong connection and  some fortune. But 11-20 are reachable and most of them are still good.

If you share some PhD courses in the Economics Department, you are very possible to be admitted given the fact that you do well. (You can tell from Professor's attitude when you talk with them, especially those in the committee) It is really important that you could have a chance for the professor to know you and appreciate you.

But this is risky I admit. If you didn't do well, you will lose lots of chances, even fail to get any letters. I am not in a Econ program and I know how hard it is to try in this way. It took great effort and need a strong body since it is energy consuming.  Anyway, good to have a try.

For sharing PhD courses, I think it is possible and it could save time if you want to do PhD in the same university. You can also transfer credits. It is possible, but limited. In the past one year, I heard a lot of different story from different PhD students about their backgrounds. Everyone is very different and I believe there are numerous ways to achieve the same goal. But which one is better, it depends on your own ability and fortune.
