Johns Hopkins has a Ph.D. in Health Economics: PhD in Health and Public Policy Another interesting program in Health Economics at The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine: Health economics at the LSHTM | London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine | LSHTM

Thanks for the information. How many applications does the program receive every year? How many students are admitted?

I am in the highest quintile. I had a low gpa in the first semesters. When I became more interested in economics my gpa began to increase. I got the highest score in Advanced Microeconomics (among more than 40 students), Mathematical Economics and ranked in the top 3% in Advanced Econometrics and Macroeconomics. Nevertheless, it is worth to mention that I had a poor performance in Linear Algebra and Calculus 1.

I am thinking in get a LOR frome the Secretary of Treasury of my (LAC) country instead of an academic letter. He has done lots of research and has 4 publications in international journals (although not well known). I worked for him two years ago as RA. This LOR would replace a LOR from a teacher for whom I worked as TA in advanced microeconomics (PhD level). Two last things guys: 1. Am I shooting too high? 2. Can you recommend me more universities (I am really interested in Health Economics)? PROFILE: Type of Undergrad: B.A. in Economics in a LAC country (best private university).
