Hello TM! First, let me say that this site was a great resource when I was applying for masters programs last year. I am now hoping to take the next step and apply for PhD programs soon, but due to the increased diversity of programs, and likely higher competitiveness in entrants, I am a bit lost as to what range of schools I should be aiming for. So, I was hoping for some guidance from those more knowledgeable than myself. Here is my profile:
Type of Undergrad: B.S. Computer Science, Top 50 large public university

Econ Courses: Introductory Micro (A), Introductory Macro (A), Intermediate Micro (A), Intermediate Macro (A-), Micro Applications (A) // Intermediate Macro (P), Intermediate Micro (M), Introduction to Econometrics (DI)
Other Courses: Lots of computer science courses, mostly As and Bs
