Objective: Phd in Economics

my profile

I am a chinese student graduating Dec 2005 Bachelor of Business administration, majoring in Economics from one university in Atlantic Canada.

GPA: 3.7/4.3 Econ course GPA: 4.0/4.3

GRE : V: 580 Q: 800 AW: 4.5

Econ courses taken: 4 macro courses including one graduate level course using a textbook by david romer; 3 micro; 1 labor econ; 1 econometrics; 1 maths econ; 1 game theory( all round A level).

Math courses: two calculus and two statistics ( all round A level)

Two mgt science courses and two finance courses ( I do not know how it is related to my application

I completed my degree within 30 months, got my last 26 courses done by half a year (six courses for two terms and 7 courses for two terms).

TA in this term for two intermediate courses around 120 students (4 months)

Research interest: econ development and macroecon

NO research done during the undergraduate studies(It did not leave much time to do research with any professors within 30 months of undergraduate studies)

LORs from two canadian professors who have a good alumni network with the faculty members in top canadian universities.

Final list of universities

IU, Bloomington

Purdue U

UC, davis

UIowa

Iowa state U

GWU

three canadian universities which rank after UT, UBC, QU

How do adcoms value my early graduation within 30 months in my application? Or they do not like a workalcoholic like me. They only favor the most gifted ones.

How is my chance of getting into these universities above with financial aid?
