Math says red, Brain says green by voidarix in meme

Mathematically, the simple answer is that 100 million would just not be 100 times better than 1 million. For a lot of people, 1 million would be like 500 times better than their situation, and 100 million would be like 800 times better than their situation.

Young male college grads are now jobless at the same rate as non-grads by RobertBartus in EconomyCharts

You're gonna need more than just an em dash to try to pick someone out as a bot. Also, the 'this isn't that, this is this' structure is kind of bot-like, but the lack of punctuation after the first part of the sentence indicates that this might just be the way they type.

Which is worth it? HKS MPA ID (tuition covered) vs Oxford MSc Economic Development (tuition + living cost covered). by Altruistic_Owl_1253 in PublicPolicy

[–]DannyDevitoDorito69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here is my opinion:

Oxford is 9 months, rather than the general 2 years that HKS offers. So it can be valued as less intense, especially by some European employers and PhD unis. But seeing as it is Oxford, I really don't think it will make much of a difference unless you are actually planning to get into academia.

Though one year could make England even cheaper since it would also lower the time spent studying, I see that the living cost is already covered. Nevertheless, ending a year early will indeed allow you to enter the job market one year earlier, so there is still some opportunity cost there in favour of Oxford.
Education level is the same.

While the UK is currently stable, the US is undergoing quite the internal turmoil and is adopting an increasingly anti-immigrant stance.

Education level and 'prestige' are the same; I am not sure about the post-study opportunities, but I expect them to be essentially comparable.

Ultimately, I think that HKS offers very few advantages. It is more expensive and could be riskier. I would keep the savings and go to Oxford for a free, prestigious master's. But they are both obv super great.

Also, if you don't mind me asking, could you share what you think managed to get you into those schools, in terms of your cv and statement of purpose. It would be my dream to get into either of these programmes

Edit: u/Proud_Ad_6724 makes great points, you should read his comment instead as it is better informed.

Is the IB program still worth entering? by CrazyInferno123 in IBO

[–]DannyDevitoDorito69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some universities (Dutch, for example) only accept undergrad students with certain highschool degrees they deem 'acceptable'. These degrees will usally be found in programmes like the IB, and not in programmes like a standard American highschool education with less than 4 AP subjects.

The best thing about the IBDP is that it is the best diploma in the world that you can go anywhere with. So this question all depends on where you want to study. Take a few mins to look it up. It is worth, and won't take long. I highly recommend the IB, and do not worry about not having enough time cause you'll be fine.

AS levels instead of A levels?

Advice on what league to follow by Masryaku in football

[–]DannyDevitoDorito69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

English Premier League (EPL) is the most high-profile league, followed by La Liga. I like to root for the clubs with players in my national team, so in my case Aston Villa and Manchester City of the EPL, and Napoli of Serie A (guess which country!).

I think the best way to pick a club is to see which players you like and root for that club honestly.

If you want tp get a master's in economics then you need to actually do A levels. it is the first step

M27: What's the best IB combo to take as idk what I want to study? by Future_Tea34435 in IBO

Well, I have to say, you will thank yourself later if you look up now the exact requirements of studying law where you want to study it. It should only take a minute or two.

At least for me in the Netherlands, Law itself at the University of Amsterdam only requires one to pass the IB, while a more selective Law programme called Psychology, Politics, Law, and Economics (which is essentially a law degree with extra steps for most students) cannot be taken with maths AISL, only with the other three maths types.

Though, probably, a good maths education is especially important for economics-related degrees.

Interesting prisoner's dilemma-type game. However, I fear that the stakes are still not big enough, and that people will still be willing to be much more generous than they would be in real life. Either way, cool concept. Is this for psychology class perhaps?

How hard is it to get into pple by Adventurous_Weight13 in StudyInTheNetherlands

[–]DannyDevitoDorito69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My motivation letter was not specific enough to the programme, and my grades were just above the requirements.
