录取偏好及申请建议
Cornell的Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management一直是美国TOP名校中较为特殊的存在，专注于培养能够解决各类复杂现实经济和商业问题的专业性人才，学院独特的课程设置和对现实世界的关注，提供了远超传统本科商业课程的教育机会和体验，学院开设有3个研究生项目：MPS in Applied Economics and Management，MS in Applied Economics and Management，PhD Program in Applied Economics and Management。
MPS in Applied Economics and Management开设时间较晚，是在MS in Applied Economics and Management分化出来的专业型项目，因此MPS项目整体招生倾向与MS项目较为相似：首先是比较看着申请者的经济学和商科背景，经济学相关专业和商科专业申请者录取较多，从招生的先修课程要求上就可得出这点，尤其是偏向于农业、环境或资源经济学专业背景的学生会更具优势；其次是偏好录取数理能力较强的申请者，因为不管是MPS还是MS项目都较为强调数据调查、建模分析和量化分析的能力，因此建议数理背景有瑕疵，数学和统计能不不是特别强的同学，可以自学或通Coursera，eDX补充一些数学和统计软件以及量化处理方法，并在之后的实习中增强自己实际应用的能力。
Cornell's Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management从开设之初起就一直保持着小班精英教学模式，因此不管是硕士还是博士项目的招生人数相较于同类型项目都要少很多，MPS in Applied Economics and Management目前每年班级规模在30人左右，因此在录取上倾向于硬件背景更优秀的学生，一般情况下建议大家最好能达到GPA ≥ 3.6+，TOEFL≥105 / IELTS 7.5，GRE≥ 325。略有不足也可以申请。
同时，该项目重视科研实践经验，建议大家尽可能多做一些经济类科研项目，并且尽量保持在相对较为集中的经济学或商业方向。当然，除了科研之外，经济类或社科类的实习也是合适的选择，并在实习过程中重视训练自己解决问题的能力。一般比较建议的实习单位选择是政府机关政策研究部门、经济管理部门，经济研究中心，智库，咨询公司，NGO/NPO等。此外，一些经济管理和行业分析的实习内容也是较为有帮助的。
