Anyone saying that the EJMR forum is not toxic is either in denial or an *******.

Out of curiosity, what's Canadian top 6?

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.

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.

Outofgame, that man is a legend.

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.

Does anyone know something like what Blanket said but Canadian? A google search has been unfruitful.

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.

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.

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?

You mean drinking? -another sophomore

Really though, where did that word come from?

Did anyone hear about this? Carroll Round - Georgetown University The Carroll Round is an annual international economics conference at Georgetown University that provides a unique forum for research and discussion among the world’s top undergraduates. The goal of the Carroll Round is to foster the exchange of ideas among leading undergraduate international economics and political economy students by encouraging and supporting the pursuit of scholarly innovation in the field.

Can anyone help on this, please?

My institution offers a pass/fail option for certain classes in undergraduate studies. Will applying this option on irrelevant courses (like Unorthodox Music or How Macaroni and Cheese Shape Contemporary American Culture) in anyway affect graduate admission?

Do you have that question because I said "math" instead of "maths?" Or are there implications from my post :distracted: I'm originally from the UK but I'm studying in Canada.

Calculus I-III (I assume you meant Introductory Calculus, Multi-variable Calculus, ODEs) Linear Algebra Intro to Proofs PDEs Non-linear Optimization Real Analysis Intro to Combinatorics (opt.) Complex Analysis (route A only) For the Probability and Statistics courses I have the option of either taking them with the mathematics department (implied to be a more difficult route) or the economics department (implied to be a less difficult route with perhaps more application)

Hi, At my undergraduate institution there are generally three routes of first and second year maths, which also partly determines what maths you can take later on. Suppose there are route A, B, and C. Difficulty-wise A > B > C. But there is a very high chance of my GPA being totally butchered in A. Will taking the easier way, B, but getting a higher mark in it, help more toward my profile? Route B differs mainly with route A with the fact that route B involves taking an intro to proofs course and an intro to real analysis course in third year first, THEN taking real analysis in fourth year. Route A however, will jump right into real analysis in third year. Thanks :verydrunk:
