chicagolasko Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Hi! I have a Math major in one of the best Latin American universities and I'm interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in economics at a top university (like top 100), but I have only taken a few courses in economics (with high grades in them). I have research experience in Math and my GPA is 4.2/5.0. Do you think that I can get accepted (with financial aid) in a top Ph.D. economics program? Or should I get a Masters in economics first? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
startz Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Most Latin American students do get a master's first. One reason is to find out if you like economics! However, you can almost certainly get into an econ PhD program with your current credentials. You would probably get into a better program with a master's.
