This is exactly what I am thinking about myself of what exactly to take in my final 2 years in university before I apply for the PhD/MA in economics. My interests definitely lie in macroeconomics and I was wondering what math courses would help me better prepared for graduate macroeconomics. Since I transferred from a community college before I cam to university....I couldn't take intermediate macro and micro in my 2nd year
. But it's never too late....I know I can handle the courseload but is this enough with good grades to be competing for a spot in the PhD admission for schools in the top 30? Please be honest!
