    Request for profile evaluation (Fall 2011)

    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
    Undergrad GPA: 3.72/4.00
    Type of Grad: LSE 2-yr MSc. Economics (haven't started second year yet)
    GRE: 790Q/700V/5.0AWA
    Math Courses: Calc (A/A-/A), Multivariable Calc (A), Differential Equations (B+), Linear Algebra (B+), Discrete Math (B+), Probability/Statistics for Scientists and Engineers, (B-), Mathematical Reasoning (A), Real Analysis (A) // Optimization Theory (DI)*, Game Theory (M)
    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
    Letters of Recommendation: Unsure
    Research Experience: None, will have done masters thesis in upcoming year
    Teaching Experience: TA for computer science, engineering writing center tutor
    Research Interests: Game theory, industrial organization, information economics, applied micro
    SOP: Probably bland
    Other: Did an early college entrance program
    * DI = distinction, M = merit, P = pass

    You're a shoo-in for the top 20 if you apply broadly.
