I think you have a good shot at top 10 given your grades in mathematics and economics courses as well as the best paper award. Also, you are from a good undergraduate institution. Top 3 LACs (especially swarthmore and williams) have produced many top 10 economics Ph.D.s given their size. I don't know about MA in financial mathematics. I guess it is slightly easier to get into the top 3 or top 5 financial mathematics MA than top 10-15 economics Ph.D. Correct me if I'm wrong. Anywayz, good luck!!!!!!

Hi, Is there a graduate school where I can enroll as a non-degree student and take some graduate courses in economics? Thank you :)

Does anyone have MWG solution manual? Thanx~

IMHO, your undergraduate performance will not matter much since you did extremely well in a graduate program in math and econ. I guess you will have a decent shot at 20-30 econ programs. Good luck~

Wow~~ It's a great programme indeed. Congratulations!!!:tup:

Thanks for advice~!! :tup:

Hi, I'm an Econ/Math major at a Public University in U.S(Top 15 in econ and math) and will be graduating next fall. Before I graduate, I have an option to take two the following four math courses: math stats, stochastic process, modern algebra, and topology. Which ones should I take? Here is my profile: math courses that I have taken and will be taken before graduation : Cal1-3, Linear Algebra, ODE, Stat(not math stat), Probability Theory, Real Analysis, Measure Theory, and two of the courses above My overall GPA will be quite low due to poor grades in fresh/soph year first 40 credits at a Public University (Top 25 Econ and top 15 math I think)- 2.1 64 credits at a community college-4.0 final 60 credits at the University that I'm attending now will be at least~3.9 Overall Math GPA~3.9, and Overall Econ GPA~3.8 I will be applying mostly MA in Econ (UPF, UBC, Toronto, Queen's, and some safety schools) and two or three low ranked Ph.D in econ Do you guys think that my chances for top 20 or 30 Ph.D in econ programs will increase if I finish my MA in Econ first given that I do well? And do I have a shot at well known Canadian or European Master's programs? I'm really worried about my fresh/soph year GPA. Thanks~ :D
