I wouldn't be so pessimistic. Your maths background is very strong. Econ GPA and GRE are acceptable also. I'd add one or two reaches if I were you, especially if ppl from your school have gone there in the past. Good luck!

ur profile looks solid and decent. if u happen to be from china, i think u might wanna be more ambitious about where to apply. remember u apply once in ur life, even if u r not rich.
