之前申请的时候还是想读经济PhD的，但是也不是很坚定。现在觉得大概70%偏向于先工作，之后再考虑要不要念PhD（希望在美国工作几年），30%直接读PhD吧。本科是金融专业，但是不太喜欢金融行业，希望未来工作找data science或传统CS或各种咨询或国际组织都可以，不想回国去投行券商（对资本市场真没啥热情）。

本来并不纠结，因为UChi发offer的时候就给了半奖，而Duke并没有给奖。但是前几天Duke也给50%TW, 还发了之前的placement 感觉还OK..?所以就有点纠结。MSEC（MS Economics and Computation）目前有两年的placement，MACSS是新项目并没有placement,另外又问了一个MACSS在读的学长找data science方面的实习并不好找，所以那个学长打算全选CS的课然后以后找传统CS的工作。。
感觉Duke破天荒给这么多奖还挺意外的，所以打算快做决定不去的话也早点告诉那边。MACSS的信息版上也有一些了，想知道有小伙伴了解msec的情况吗？

附上目前了解的两边的placement信息：
(1) Duke MSEC
MSEC也是两年的项目，要求30学分毕业，其中12必选经济，12必选CS，剩下的任选。项目每年会有10个左右学生。

小米给的回复：

Our program is only two years old, but already we’ve had considerable success with our PhD placements. Students have been accepted for the Sociology PhD at UChicago, Northwestern, Johns Hopkins, and Ohio State; for the Psychology PhD at UChicago, Duke, and Vanderbilt; ; for the Politics PhD at Princeton; for the Computer Science PhD at Toronto; for the Information Science PhD at Cornell and Washington-Seattle; for the Criminology PhD at UPenn and UC-Irvine; and for the Management PhD at Michigan-Ann Arbor.

There are still quite a few students I’m waiting to hear from, including our Economists, but I hope to relay that information at Campus Days (either in person or virtually).

Because our first class hasn’t yet graduated, we have no career data we can point you to. Every student who sought a paid internship last year was successful, and I’ve heard from several candidates that they have excellent professional opportunities lined up for June. But those details are still anecdotal at this stage, since our students have another 3 and 1/2 months before they complete their degrees.

Our Chinese students will make up roughly 53% of our incoming class of 37 for next year. That’s not by design, but simply a function of how extraordinarily competitive they were in the 134 applications we’ve received to date. Our Chinese students have been just as successful as the rest in their internship and PhD applications.

另外我觉得Duke还挺好的啊，给了这么多奖。。欢迎经济想转CS的学弟学妹们申MSEC这个项目？？（毕竟给了我钱想帮他们宣传一下啊lol）录取应该比MACSS容易。我也正在联系MSEC在读的中国学长/学姐，有新信息会更新。

对了，最关键的是有人认识可以帮忙介绍下在读MSEC的学长学姐吗？？虽然可以在Duke网站上看到他们的邮箱，但总觉得直接发邮件有点尴尬啊啊啊。。。
