How many eme get top10 phd placement?
The top
LSE Msc EME
-
What are the best and worst placements? Is this masters the best for phd?
Let me give you some honest advice, OP. Unless you are the best student in your undergraduate cohort, do not take the LSE EME with the hope of going on to a top US PhD (or for that matter other top Master programs in Europe, like UCL, Bonn, Bocconi, PSE, BGSE or CEMFI).
They are extremely competitive and unless you are already top 10 quality you are likely to be a mediocre student. The best Master for a PhD is probably at a reputable university where you will be the top student, rather than any of the above.This is very true. I went to one of the top masters programs myself. It is fairly hard. All students are strong and competitive, Chinabros form clusters and collaborate on everything. I did end up going to a top 20 after all, but not without lots of pain

Did you have research experience before?

In LSE masters, the golden rule is distinction or to the toilet, all guys I know from LSE in HRM have distinction.
this is pretty much the same for all top euro masters. if you can't nail to the top of your cohort, you are fieked. my suggestion to all lemons, avoid top euro masters as much as you can.

Does a distinction in LSE's Econ or EME Msc guarantee funding for the LSE MRes/PhD? I know distinction guarantees admission, but am unclear on the funding situation.

I said admission, not success. You end up accepting people who never did anything creative but study the same content again and again. I wouldn’t be surprised if a large part of the LSE Msc cohort already has a masters degree.
You know there is something deeply rotten about the PhD admission system when then the top Msc students are those who haven taken the same courses more than once. Too much noise.
Grades and coursework won't count for sh*t if you're not creative.

this is true actually. Many of the best performers either already have a masters (from some China university) or took rigorous classes as undergrads that covered everything already

lol at those who think that they are gonna be great researchers while they can't even get sufficient grades in those masters courses. at lse you need 7/10 to get distinction, which is not extremely hard to get as long as you study nonstop for the whole year. look at professors at top5; most of them got their phds again from top5. academic performance is a strong signal of the future research capabilities. this fact should already be obvious, you can't expand the frontiers of a field that you can't even understand properly.

That would have been correct if the purpose was knowledge. When everyone here knows that the goal is signalling.

At the top 15 school that I am at we have average exam scores of 25% (max 60%). It's enough to do one problem right to get an A.

Recent EME graduate here, so I can give you some accurate information about placements over the past two years. But before going there, it's important for you to know, that placements are, inherently, a frustratingly unpredictable process. There's a fair amount of noise in the whole enterprise, which is why it's important to manage expectations, all the more so as programmes like the EME attract an increasingly international group of future scholars. As such, in terms of the median placement into top programs, what you should know is that, ultimately, the quality of the placement depends as much on the quality of the student as the school. This is all the more so at a top programme like the EME, where, indeed, as was pointed out above, the atmosphere is highly competitive and, though I certainly don't want to discourage you from entering the program, which is is my view offers the most rigorous training in modern economics one can find on this side of the Atlantic, the competition will be fierce. But in any case, let's get on to the median placements over the past two years, which I am most familiar with. Pour butter into a shallow 2-qt. baking dish; set aside. Drain peaches, reserving 1/4 cup juice. In a saucepan, bring the peaches and juice just to a boil. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup sugar, flour, milk, baking powder and salt; mix well. Pour over butter in baking dish. Spoon hot peaches over batter. Sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake at 400 degrees F for 25 minutes or until cake tests done. Serve warm. So there you have it, the EME is an outstanding programme that places students in the very best US universities. Just make sure you're well prepared.
HAHAHAHA
