Hi All, I was wondering if anyone has advice or information about the quality, acceptance rate and overall experience with the Masters in Statistical and Economic Modeling in Duke. Do you think is a good stepping stone for either a PhD in Economics or Statistics in a good program, especially for an international student? Also, if one decides not to pursue a PhD, is it easy to find a good job with this degree. I would appreciate any info, since I can't find any in the Internet. Thanks a lot!!

Hi @irishnyc213! Forgive my intrusion, but I'm curious about what you decided to do. I'm also hesitant about whether to do an MPP or a Ms in Statistics. I was admitted to top MPP (including Chicago). What kind of PhD's do you think the MPP prepares you for (meaning, if you don't want to be stuck in PhD's in poli sc. or public policy, and want to do something like Economics) Thanks! And good luck!
