谢谢！defer虽然是个不错的建议，但是总是觉得有点。。。可能如果为了多一个暑假缓冲一下的话, yale和col ...

yale的IDE不是那麼好申的........一堆心懷大志想服務國際組織/第三世界, 手上已有幾件int'l organization internship的人在排著隊...........

Columbia financial economic, 你仔細看一看program structure, 其實是很academics的(of course I am not saying it is not practical)........數學背景不夠(你不extent不會夠的.......)真的會很有難度(intake太少了.......)

真相了。。。被那些宣传的所谓这些行业不看专业，到头来还是Favor数理背景的，纯文科基本没出路。。 ...

其實他們的宣傳倒不是錯的.

而是讀文史哲甚麼的, 很多時候本身就沒有那麼功利, 較少人會去申請這些公司

而prefer數理背景甚麼的, 首先要isloate了你本人是international, 沒有visa, 有culture difference的effect再說.


P.S. what is the point of getting someone with a art/social science background to consultant / banking? what is the benefit? It is not as clear as analytical / quantitative mindset (except English writing skills), but these kind of soft humanist training does make a person look more like a noble, and this kind of 氣質 & 底蘊 are very useful in communication with other corporate clients (and other upper class rich people). (let's put the race discrimination issue in US aside first........) Just imagine wealth management, you are doing business with some rich family in behave of the firm......and they are talking about whatever art, or history or etc......how can someone born in communist China make this? the simplest method is: Reincarnation......

this phenomenon is not that clear for business in China, as the Chinese culture background of the upper class in China has been all elimated during the culture revolution.

of course, the assumption is native language + culture, so this approach are normally for local students (and local mid/upper class students) only.

I should agree..........real analysis is really important.

申商科各种实习狂魔，申个econ还有那么多胸怀大志的。。。p.s能请问前辈是做什么的吗？怎么会对Econ也这么了解？这段关于中国的英文真是绝了。。。确实我学再多历史艺术史在中国真是一点没用，在美国人家不如找native。。

you have to know that economics is a social science by itself. it is not a business at all. (well, actually one may say that business is indeed only applied social science, which is rich enough to have their own faculty)

It is about understand the soceity, how it opearte under limited resource.
there are many subfield in economics.

imagine, someone reading monetary economics may want to join a central bank for protecting the price stability and employment of the country
public economic is something about the fiscal policy of the government.
international economic is related to the trade policy of a country
and.....please imagine what labour economics, education economics, political economy and etc are about

and the only econ related master in Yale is IDE (they dont have a standard econ master as far as I know) - international and development economics. these are field for those who are interested in public service - things related to international trade, international organization, developing the third world and etc.........the title suggest that this is a master for who wanna save the world instead of making big money already indeed.

我确实知道这个项目是给那些public-service orientated的人的，不过因为top的有econ类master太少所以也不管那么多了。。那你知道yale的global affairs吗？不知道是不是也是差不多的那类人去的？

同学，我相信你看到这个项目平均年龄二十八，平均工作年限四年就会明白你不是typical pool了。。。俺有位相识拒了这个去另外一家，现在在给历史终结的作者写case。。。

从你的career goal倒推要去什么项目，不要反过来。Method：Chan讲的表格elimination，我说的info interview，你做完再看会清楚一点。
否则我们也无从着手给你意见。

PS：我不懂数学，我只知道我自己缺数学，大致该从哪里开始。。。你我的区别大致就是不知道自己不知道什么跟知道自己不知道什么的差别嗯。。。为什么这句话的英语听起来看起来要顺溜得多。。。
