Ballycan Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Hi I will apply phd next year and need some advice for my course selection. Basically, I am facing two paths, 1. Take econ elective course which require me to write a master thesis. I expect to be able to build good relationship with the professor and get a good LOR from him. 2. Take stochasic process and machine learning course. FYI, I majored math in undergrad and courses I have are cal1, 2, 3, linear algebra, differential equation, analysis, real analysis, probability, intro stats, theoretical stats, non linear dynamics, abstact algebra, numerial analysis. (Mostly A/A- but B+ in diffequ and B in cal I) Under this circumstances, should I need to take machine and stochastic analysis? I am aiming TOP 5-10.

startz Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Do the master's thesis. Not a close call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zubrus Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I would greatly taper my expectations if I were you since you said your GPA was 3.76 and got rejected from Toronto and Oxford before. But I agree with Startz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
