PSU lists seven faculty in macros, but four are assistants. NW must be about 83 years now.
Penn State vs Rochester vs USC vs ASU

OP here (although it doesn’t show it for some reason). At the end of the day, it was down to PSU and USC, and I went with PSU. USC’s placement record is just super short and spotty, and it remains to be seen whether their new hires will change that. Thanks all for the advice!

Oh what a bad mistake OP. You should have definitely taken USC.

For real. What an idiot. I guess usc will be better off without him tbh

Half of you say USC is the best of the bunch. The other half say it’s the worst. Why is that?
USC also happens to be in the by far the best place to live, especially compared to state college and Rochester. How does it compare to ASU, location-wise?It is current status vs current trend. USC is on the rise. Check the placements from 2010 to 2022. Some of us think of USC as USC in 2015, the others think of USC as predicted 2027 USC (solid MRM).

Asu gets a lot of discredit here, but it has a terrific program
ASU a very solid program, but PSU and Rochester are definitely better. Only case to pick ASU is location or very specific faculty match. PSU will have crazy parties too (ok maybe not as crazy as ASU but still pretty HRM parties).

Congrats! I went to PSU about a decade ago. I made some great friends in grad school who I still keep in touch with. The faculty was good to me as a student, and continued to help me when I was an AP. I am now tenured at LRM, and am quite happy with how things went all things considered.

For international:
Rochester if you want to work International Macro/International Finance
PSU if you want to work International tradeThe other two are equivalent and should only be considered after PSU and Rochester in general.
In general between PSU and Rochester -> PSU
It's a more solid program that actually has placed more than occasionally above its rank and several times in Rochester and all other others.
You made a good decision OP.
But in any of these places, you could have been off to good things and in either there are many other relevant factors involved.
