If you have done standard cal 1-3, Linear and Matrix Algebra, differential equation, Probability and STats (ideally, econometrics as well), you are all GOOD for the math rigor. Perhaps, a course in Advanced Claculus and/or elementary proofing in logic and set wouldnt hurt. DONT read too much into Real Analysis when you actually do your doctoral program in econ.

I would beg to differ. IMHO, the real benefit of real analysis lies not in what it teaches, but rather in the mathematical sophistication that it instills.
