I'm wondering whether it is commonplace to schedule meetings with professors before visiting campus for a fly out? Is it also commonplace to stay an extra day or two to meet with faculty (if they're not available on the day of the fly out) and graduate students? Maybe there's a thread somewhere here that someone can direct me to that would address this question... Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for all of the suggestions! I have one final question. I don't know much about graph theory, but I'm wondering whether it is useful in analysis of social networks? Any thoughts?

I'm thinking of getting an M.A. before going for a Ph.D. (I'm a non-degree student and don't have econ recs from undergrad) and I figure I could tackle something like #8 in an M.A. program. Are there any courses I've overlooked from this list? If I were focusing on Micro Theory, which courses would be best? Btw, thank you for your thoughts Zeno.

I'm trying to decide which Math courses to take in the Fall and am hoping to get suggestions as to what my next course should be. I've already taken: Real Analysis I Probability Theory ODE I Linear Algebra Real Analysis II (Audit) I'm trying to decide between the following (I know that some of the courses are lower levels than above, but I'd like to crush a few proof-based courses so that I can get more intuitive with my proofs). My research interests are primarily in Micro Theory. 1. Symbolic Logic 2. Intro to Discrete Math Models (basic concepts of graph theory, markov chains, game theory...emphasis on application) 3. ODE II (wave, heat, & laplace equations... fourier series... use of power series) 4. Modern Algebra (with Proofs) 5. Numerical Analysis I 6. Game Theory 7. Dynamic Systems and Multivariable Control I 8. Probability and Stochastic Processes I I will take two of the above courses next semester (or other courses that might be more important). What are your suggestions? Thanks much!
