SaintNick Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Hi everyone, I’m considering applying for the 2019 round at top 15s and would appreciate a profile review. The thing that concerns me the most is my grade in linear algebra, and I don’t know if the rest of my profile is strong enough to overcome my low grade in LA. UG: US Top 50 GPA: 3.9 Grad: Europe Top 10 GPA: 4.0 GRE: 168/166/5.0 Econ Courses: Micro (A+), Macro (A-), Experimental (A+), Environmental (A+), Urban (A+), Health (A+), Developmental (A+), Econometrics (A+), Grad Econometrics (A+), etc. (all A or A+) Math Courses: Calc 1 (A), Calc 2 (A), Calc 3 (A), Linear Algebra (B), Real Analysis (A+), Time Series (A), Math Stats (A) TA/RA: Summer Independent Research with UG prof, 1 year TA at Grad Uni, 6 months RA at Grad Uni, 1 year RA (think NBER) Recommendations: From above RA/TA Professors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
startz Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 No one will care about one math grade, especially with better grades later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chateauheart Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Linear algebra grade is basically irrelevant. Top 15 econ is a reasonable range; you can probably add a few of the top B-school PhD programs, depending on your interests. If you can continue your grad RA work with the same professor to get a strong letter, that will probably do the most to help your chances on the margin.
