MorgieLilly · 2009 February 23rd, 04:14 PM

PROFILE:
Type of Undergrad: B.A in Econ-Phil and Math
Undergrad GPA: 3.85
GRE: 780Q, 510V, 3.0W
Math Courses (undergrad):
Cal I, Calc III, Linear Algebra, Real Analysis, Probability and Statistics, Advanced Logic, (all A)
Econ Courses (PhD-level): Only one, Micro-econometrics (A-)
Econ Courses (undergrad-level): Intermediate Micro/Macro(A-,B+), Advanced Econometrics (B+), Advanced Macro (A), Economic History (A-), International (C, took abroad in Ghana)
Letters of Recommendation: 2 econ, both well known. 1 math, well known in math. 1 philosophy, well known in the philosophy of science.
Research Experience: REU Intern in geophysics at Lamont Earth Observatory, summer 2007 (My paper was accepted to the 2008 ASLO Conference). I also published a paper in the philosophy of science when I was a sophomore, but I'm not so proud now of what I said and the journal was not a big deal at all. Full-time economics RA this year.
Research Interests: Development, Economic History, Alternative Theories in Economics, Econometrics.
statement of purpose: Oh, I dunno. I was nervous about sounding too "out there", so I may have ended up sounding really boring.
Concerns: My econ scores are not the greatest at the lower level. I also had a bad mark in Ghana, because the prof gave everyone Cs; I wrote a note about this in the "additional info" section. Also, my GRE writing is pretty low. I only studied for the quantitative. I should have at least glanced at what they were looking for in the writing section because, apparently, I wrote it incorrectly.
Applied to: LSE, MIT, NYU, Harvard, UCSD, UC Berkeley, Chicago, Stanford, Columbia, UMich, Princeton, Yale
Rejected: Yale, so far.
