24fall mkt Rochester offer 求问几个问题

古天乐

Any Econ student that can get an offer from Rochester Biz School so early is very likely to be offered by a top 20 private Econ PhD program and Top 10 public Econ PhD program.

From the perspective of academic placement in North America, it would be very very hard for Chinese Econ PhDs from any top 15-30 programs to beat Chinese Biz PhDs from any programs at Rochester level.

However, to my perspective, if your career goal is in Mainland China and you have the so-call prestigious school fantasy, it's better to go to any top 18 Econ PhD programs, including:
8 ivy league schools+ 6 private non-ivy league giants (Stanford, MIT, Chicago, Northwest, NYU, Duke) + 4 Public Giants (UC Berkeley, UCLA, Michigan, Virginia)

I just thought that the discussion had now been put to rest. Now that you were following up, I could not hold back the temptation to chime in. Based on all the Economics program/department rankings that I could get hands on, I have no doubts (at least for now) that Berkeley, Umich, and UCLA rightfully command the top three spots in your '4 Public Giants' group. Which program is the fourth is really in the beholder's eye; notwithstanding, Virginia does not seem to measure up to the distinction. I might be wrong for lack of conclusive evidence.

Again, another outsider take. UCSD, UWM, and UMN are clearly above Virginia and Dartmouth in your "Top18" list. Brown is also close to the bottom of the top 20, if at all.
The bar of Rochester B-school may surprise you. I won't be surprised if OP doesn't get any offer from top20 econ.

Totally agree.
Sometimes I'm just so amazed that how Chinese people are so obsessed with US ranking, QS ranking when evaluating a Biz phd program.

I am curious as to what S16 is all about.

By the way, the Dartmouth Econ Dept does not offer a Ph.D. program (nor a Master's). With respect to research, Dartmouth Econ is overrated at RePEc (probably thanks to their idiosyncratic ranking methodology). As a matter of fact, Dartmouth does not make it to Tilburg's Global Top 100 Economics Department Research Rankings (more than 40 from the U.S.).

It's time that the conversation on Econ programs be closed for now.

It's about the worldwide fame of business schools
HSW: Harvard, Stanford, Wharton
Magic7: HSW plus, MIT, Chicago, Columbia, Northwest,
Super16: Magic7 plus Yale, Cornell, Dartmouth, Duke, NYU, Berkeley, UCLA, Michigan, Virginia

For example, many of my Chinese friends with master's degree from US universities only know that Michigan and Virginia are very top universities and almost all their programs are very competitive.
However, they don't know that business and economic programs in some top public universities such as Minnesota, Wisconsin and Mayland are also very competitive too. They deem them as average public flagship public universities.

While I am not knowledgeable about your concentration, abed's comment sounds very professional, informative, and down-to-earth.

Again, I would recommend that you stay with the economics camp should you be admitted to a decent economics program.
