It looks shitty to me. I would get out of ND ASAP!!

Hello all, This is my first semester in Johns Hopkins's AAP Applied Economics program. I already obtain a BA in Economics and an MPA from a state university. I decided to enroll into this program to further my economic quantitative skills and statistical programming skills. As a precaution to prepare myself for the "rigorous" math, I'm only enrolled in the Math Method for Economists course this semester. This course is a complete joke. It's just a brief refresher of Calculus I and Linear Algebra. Does anyone know information about this Masters program? The program itself is separate from the Economics Department located on the Baltimore campus, which seems odd. Is this program a cash-cow for the University to make money off of its students? Are there any benefits in enrolling into this program? Am I paying $40k+ to network with my fellow classmates and instructors?

My OSU Economics Ph.D. application is still pending. Should I be worried? GRE score 160Q/3.47UGPA/4.0GGPA. I have several years of experience working for the Federal Reserve and the BLS. 2 coauthor publication and 2 articles written on BLS website. Please help I could definitely use some advice.
