Hi all,
I just found this site through econphd.net, and I'm wondering how I can best use it.
I'm in the final year of my undergrad program, and I'll be applying to economics programs over the next few months.
Suggestions?
Thanks

It's my interpretation that a terminal masters program can be good for those who don't have qualifications to get into a top tier phd program. You can develop those qualifications while working on the terminal masters, then apply to a phd program.
If you have a masters that wasn't from a terminal masters program, I think it's like the kiss of death. It only shows that you couldn't get the phd.
But a respectable terminal masters program (e.g., LSE, UM) can be a good stepping stone to a good phd program.
At least that's the approach I'm taking!
