Well, if you target at Finance PhD, I guess Duke Econ MA is the best choice; unless BC offers you fellowship. (I'm assuming you have to pay for your education.) However, as an insider, I guess the previous post may overestimate the placements of Duke master program. Well Duke certainly provides a great platform and many precious resources. If you can use them properly, then you are definitely a rising star and you can get into top PhD programs. Yes there are MA alumni going to Wharton, Kellogg, Columbia, Harvard, Stanford, etc. However, it's very naive and dangerous to assume that you can easily replicate their success. The placement varies a lot. It depends on YOU.
It is never easy to impress or get connection with a professor. You need to be smart, diligent, proactive, or lucky enough to have a chance.
You can find most placements on the website and you can make your own judgment. Be aware: don't assume that you can easily replicate those successful ones: the placement varies a lot.
Anyway, Duke provides a great platform. The rest are on your own.
Nono U don no how competitive to get in DUKE ECON MA this year. 我是应届美本 I know tons of econ 3.8+ GRE 1500 没进Duke MA的 Master里面duke很好了 我也认识这样的人本科读过7++ 的phd level的课 Econ PHD申请并不理想的，econ phd很难申. 以能进duke MA ECON 单纯来看，LZ也应该分数完全够用 如果想进TOP 就要靠给教授做RA 拿到牛推 才能冲进top school 能申到econ phd就算bc也已经很好了 过两年申请不定人人都4.0 1600的 那就惨了
你的想法太简单了
Duke Econ MA 出来至少能申个NYU这类的phd 没什么好担心的 如果你跟哪个教授有bond了 进top Econ program就1句推荐能搞定 我相信Duke Econ的教授也不会弱了
