eteshoe, thank you for response.
By this epithet I mean a top 10-15 PhD program. But, apparently, for a start upon graduation I'm planning to seek employment, preferably in ibanking.
I have to decide between these two programs:
Duke MA Economics
Columbia MA Statistics
I happen to be indifferent location and tuitionwise. So, please advise from the perspective of 1) job placement; 2) possibility of acceptance to a decent Phd Economics.
Thanks in advance
