CanadianEcon Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Hi guys, I will be applying to masters programs in Canada and possibly the UK this round and have a concern about my application. I did exceptionally well in introductory econometrics with a perfect grade, although I was planning on the department to allow me to take directed readings courses in econmetrics beyond the introductory level, but they are not allowing it. How do you guys think this will affect my application? i'm worried many programs will either reject or have me do a pre-master year, especially given my university is not well known for economics (department only offers undergrad degrees). Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aascd Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I wouldn't worry too much. 2 semesters of introductory econometrics is standard for Canadian undergrads. If you are really worried, you could take an additional 2nd or 3rd year statistics course, like probability, regression or time-series; given your grades in econometrics, you are likely to do quite well.

CanadianEcon Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 Thanks aascd, my department actually only offers the first intro metrics, a one semester course. I did look into stats courses but there was a time conflict and unfortunately could not enroll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aascd Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 PM me if you'd like. I'm basically in the same boat as you applications-wise (Canadian applying to masters programs this cycle) and I'd be glad to share any info I have.
