  1.

  2. Anyone saying that the EJMR forum is not toxic is either in denial or an *******.
  3. Out of curiosity, what's Canadian top 6?
  4. If you leave the grade and ace Advanced Macro then you should be set. We're all people, hiccups happen. As long as you demonstrate mastery of the subject (macro in this case) then I don't see adcoms having a case against you.
  5. You're from Canada. A politician only needs a BA in Economics (from Calgary in fact) and has already have enough econ background to be PM.
  6. I did. Turned out you have to be a member school to be able to come. So if you're in Canada and from McMaster or UBC or several other schools I can't quite remember you are invited, but otherwise no.
  7. Does anyone know something like what Blanket said but Canadian? A google search has been unfruitful.
  8. I'm also a rising sophomore, at a big research place but they don't want second years running around assisting official researches. So on my spare time I build models predicting premier league statistics. I can't imagine it would hurt.
  9. I really recommend this article titled A warning to college profs from a high school teacher and Teachers Should Be Seen and Not Heard, if only to try and prevent this thread from moving toward the direction of "public schools can't teach math" comments.

  11. There's also a big problem in building up the mathematics inventory. At my undergrad institution we have two main streams of economics studies, the standard one, and the mathematical one (which is explicitly said to be gearing toward to graduate studies). However, even the mathematical one does not require the hardest maths (and does not even require third year Analysis, but only recommended, and did not even recommended the harder, math major version). Therefore, if a standard undergraduate comes in and (unknowingly) take cheap calculus for the first two years, there is no way she will be ready to take Real Analysis by third or fourth year. So our profession is counting on the natural math wiz kids (who somehow don't go into math/compsci/physics) or only the kids surfing the web for "econ phd" even before starting college (me). Is that really what we want it to be?
  12. Really though, where did that word come from?
