请问我这样的条件，在MA阶段需要做些什么，以便更好的申请经济学PHD

谢谢版主。对于我这种情况来说，有MA我觉得还是优势很明显的吧，毕竟我本科专业是新闻，直接读经济学的ph ...

優勢與否, 得看你和甚麼比較.
對比你本科來說, 的確是加分. 沒加這個你根本沒機會.

但別人有MA你也有, 那不叫優勢.
而math/stat本科, 再加econ MA的, 為數不少.

而MA的课的成绩都不错的情况下, 這個也不叫優勢, 而叫劣勢.
因為讀PhD要的, 不是不錯, 而是優良.

貴校MA數學科不夠, 想弥补很难, 能夠理解.
但是理解是一回事, 招生時學校會怎選就是另一回事了......

論文不用多寫, 多寫也難.
好的, 有一兩篇已經非常足夠.


剩下来也就4门选修了，没什么好选的，可以继续深造三高
<---- normally, students in their MA will choose their elective in some field that they are interested / they want to research. e.g. more advanced course in monetary, game theory, adv econometrics, or whatever development economics or etc. This is a good chances for them to have an idea about the research frontier, and be more in touch with prof since the class size is generally smaller. This is one of the way that likely thesis advisor come from, and a first chances for you in a certain subfield.
If there are 没什么好选 in the econ MA master, then it is sure that you are in the wrong MA that don't fit you.

最后一句话没太看懂，F1现在都是五年啊

JMP = job market paper


(not quite sure about the following. those studying in US please clarify.)
Normally, in order to keep your full-time student status, universities requires students to take at least a certain amount of credit per semester.
If you take less than that, you will be no long qualified as a full-time students, but possibly a part-time one. This will surly affect your visa status.

As far as I feel, this border line is around 3 course per semester.

對比你本科來說, 的確是加分. 沒加這個你根本沒機會.

谢谢哈，我们学校的选课的课程有很多，不过就是没有数学哦，除了马上要学到的MATH AND STATATICS 作为core course，就再也没有了。不过确实三高的深化有不少，我会选的。另外我们学校的MA是偏向找工作的。可能确实有点不适合吧。但是其他学校的都不要我，只有这学校要我还给了我奖学金。我不去就没学上:lol

我们学校如果4门core course的gpa达到3.5，会有半年的带薪实习机会。我到时候看有没有research相关的

1. ask if you are permitted to take course in math/stat department.
those Math and stat for economist is not enough.

2. be ready to lower your expectation. Given this is a professional master, staying at a university of similar level is already tough. Being prepared that you have to go for a school that is outside top 80/100, and thus likely don't have research that is active in the research circle.

谢谢哈。
1.有明确规定，最多选一门外系的课。

2.一学期至少上2门课，包含一个学期的带薪实习（该学期不上课）

建议楼主假期时先看一下rudin的数学分析还有MWG，能够耐心看进去并且能跟下来再考虑是否读phd。。其实你这个项目听起来用来找工作挺合适的

well, really the case also for international student as an non-STEM (guess) program?

I am a bit doubt about this....especially when this is only NEU.

唔 没有说楼主找工作会很容易，实际上我对这个项目基本不了解，只是说偏professional且还有带薪实习的话，相比申phd可能还是找工作有比较优势吧。而且考虑楼主似乎没有修过分析，好像也没有中微中宏计量（？）的话，不我觉得现在决定申phd是明智的。。

不觉得现在决定申phd是明智的, that's true.

但是如果一個人, 在上master前沒決定好是打算進修, 還是畢業後出來工作的話, 其實也是把問拖後.

at the end, PhD VS work, 且不說選校選program了, 在找實習, 選coursework, 還有其他的, 在時間分配上有很大的分別, 而且因為時間有限而會變得mutually exclusive.

我觉得你不会像我这么奇葩，我怕误导你。
