You may wish to devote serious thinking about this,
I second his advice, econ classes at at large waste of time,
two mathematician from the past are enough to "shake"
the foundation of economics, Von neumann came first
J.F. Nash the second, without a strong background in
mathematics, a top phd program wont take you far enough,
you should not aim at taking the math for the sake to do well/ get into
the program, but for building a strong foundation in which your future
research can laid upon.
