Thanks for your response! Just to add, I did take an Intro to Macro Economics and Principles of Imports/Exports course during my undergrad.

But overall, as I see the strong credentials of other applicants, I think I am going to apply to Masters programs for now. Do you have any recommendation for masters programs that will aid in applying for phD later on?

Some of the programs I am looking at are:

MS in Maths Finance
MS in Development Economics
MS in Financial Engineering
MS in Economics (terminal MS program) *

Should I also apply to MS in Economics * program? I read somewhere that it is better not to get MS in Economics if wanting to get a phD later. Any comments?

Do you have any recommendation for other Masters programs that might be useful?

Thanks!
