Scholarship, longer program and RA opportunities were most crucial
Course Curriculum :
For students with no experience with Economics, the content is good. Students with some background in Econ may find some of it redundant. However, it might still be a good degree if you looking for job opportunities in the US. Research opportunities are available through the RA mentorship program. The alumni network is good which is useful in job-hunting.
Exams :
My Scores: GRE 164 Verbal 170 Quant 4.5 AWA; TOEFL 113; There are no minimum requirements
Placement :
Depends on the role - ranging from $35000 to $85000 - placement statistics are hard to find for my program

No, I did my RA work during the summer which was part-time
Fees :
Roughly $85,000
Scholarship :
I received the university graduate scholarship and the only requirement for consideration was an early application deadline
