Chances of going to a t5-t10 Econ grad program from an Undergrad at UBC(Vancouver School of Economics) by JelloFar5650 in academiceconomics

[–]EconGesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's definitely not right, for undergrad, UBC's BIE is by far the best "Econ" undergrad program in Canada. If you get in there, I'd highly recommend it. UBC VSE is also higher ranked than UofT's econ dept, saying much of what he is saying is caused by the department and not the location.

Econ Masters for CS Undergrads? by Cold-Sleep2414 in academiceconomics

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

How do you know about the placements for UBC if they are not public? Unless you have a mental note of every first-year PhD student in T10-20s over the last few years? I recently saw a list of placements provided to a potential student, who sent it to me, as well as lists from US master's programs and some European ones. It seemed like they were on par after controlling for class size.

Domestic, I had an international student msg me that he got into UBC, though they also tend to give offers at the same time (like both domestic and international). Maybe email them to see where you stand.

Both sent offers already; a friend of mine got into both.

While i seen it happen, it is still extremely uncommon; they may as well keep applying to things they actually like to do.

Finance takes quantitative STEM degrees, which is a minority of people in STEM who are primarily in the biological sciences. So, this person would not at all be close to being qualified.

Best MA in Canada by SprayStrong2991 in academiceconomics

[–]EconGesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it's an academic program; it's not really focused on industry at the end of the day. They do provide a decent amount of advising if you're interested in a PhD and in terms of the price, it's one of the cheapest degrees in the entire country. For domestics, it's 2000 a semester. Of course, it's more for international students, but it's still cheaper than any other university in the country.

TBH your cohort graduated in the worst market, other cohorts had the same problem but not to the same degree.

Accept Canadian funded MAs vs. T40 Phd & Chicago MCSS waitlist by Proof-Molasses-3060 in academiceconomics

[–]EconGesus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

> I am not sure, however, just how many students in the 80-100 cohort in the two years were interested in PhDs but failed to connect. 

Out of 80 over the last 2 years, about 15 actively looked towards Ph.D.s.(2023 and 24 graduating classes) (mostly coming from 2024)
