各位有在Tinbergen的吗？

我申请的UvA的PhD（第一年去Tinbergen上Mphil的课），被告知录取了，不过会有一个econometrics 和macro/micro 的qualify exam，请问这个exam是什么难度的，是要过去荷兰考吗？挺ft的，PHD入学还要考试的。

:icon_slee 我也是，不想去了

听我一朋友说，Tinbergen很恐怖的。好象很难。他就是里面的MPhil学生。

This is the first time for this kind of exam to be held, therefore, no one knows any specific details about it. The best you can do is to contact your supervisor or tinbergen institute (www.tinbergen.nl) regarding the content and the difficulty level of the exam. Do not under-estimate it !!! Good luck!

You can not underestimate it at all. IF it is based on the first year content, that will drive people crazy

Thanks guys. It seems to me that such exam looks like a black box. Though the contents are prelimenary stages for PROFESSIONAL research, people with different edu background hardly perform as they expected. Since each master prog has its own main focus field e.g. GT or GET or IO(although few may cover all, they still give diff weights on them). So I really doubt the efficiency of it. At least me, I haven't any ideas for what you have had from micro, macro and emt, and which levels arrives, thus I don't know what I can promote myself in any of them.
Anyway, I will go through my notes carefully if I make up my mind to take the offer (and the exam of coz). Thank you all.

Add one more question. How much would I receive from my salary after taxation
(roughly 1900 without tax payment)?

Cheers

1400左右
