  1. Hey everyone, I'm thinking of applying to a Econ Phd Program, but do not have a clue of where I should apply for, can any1 give me some ideas on that. Here is my Profile: Undergraduate: Big10 public school (senior this year) Major: Economics&Math(an inter-department one),sociology, east asian study(japanese) Overall GPA: 3.6 Econ&math GPA3.77(going for a thesis,and probably end up with honor), Soc 3.3, EA study 3.6 GRE 316 V152(53%+) Q164(90%+) Math courses: Calculous 1 A, Calc 2 A, Calc 3(multi-variables) B+ currently taking Linear Algebra and Numerical Analysis(going good so far), and will take real analysis and differential equation next semester Research: 1.5 year research assistant in Soc department Yet no Econ research background Letters: One from Soc professor whom I've been working for, 1 prof from Public Policy class but is considered to be a economist, last one undecided yet Future field: probably more Macro and international trade part Good things: Lots of majors (My econ prof said that they only look at math part though) Bad things: Not enough math courses grade available yet. A not very strong GPA, and low verbal on GRE, a OK but imperfect Quant score. I'm thinking of applying to schools from top 20 to 50 Phds,but mainly those from 20 to 40, and possibly some Econ Master programs as well. My school's Econ dept was ranked somewhere around 40, and they said that I'll be considered seriously if I apply but will only be given offer maybe in the second round. This is a depressing news for me, and I'm here to ask if anyone can provide me some clues about where I could possibly apply for and have a fairly possible shot for? Thanks.
