Hello, all!
I am a Math / Econ (double major) in a relatively unknown state LAC, which has sent only one student in a PhD program in Economics (George Mason) for the last 5 years. I am applying for PhD programs in Economics this Fall and would like to hear from you to which schools I have chances of being accepted. Here is my detailed profile:
Econ Courses: Intermediate Micro/Macro(A/A), Mathematical Economics(A), Money and Banking(A), Econ Stats I/II(B/A), European Econ History(A), American Econ History(B), American Capitalism(A). Econ GPA: 3.78.
Math Courses: Calculus I/II/III(A/A/A), Linear Algebra(B), Discrete Math(B), Computing for Mathematicians using Maple(A), Math Stats I/II(B/A), Ordinary Differential Equations(A), Probability Models in Operations Research(A), Advanced Calculus:Single Variable(A). Math GPA: 3.76.
In the Fall I am planning to take Econometrics, Advanced Calculus:Multi Variable, Statistical Packages(SAS,SPSS,Minitab,Stata).
Do you think I need to retake Linear Algebra for an A?
I am taking GRE in August and am currently attending a GRE Prep Course at my school.
Also, this summer I will be doing a research project, which will be shown on my transcript as a course "Developing a research thesis"
I don't know if this matters, but I was tutoring Econ and Math for 3 semesters at my school.
Thanks for taking your time to read all this and look forward for your comments!
