Hey guys, I am very concerned about my chances of getting admitted in one of these programs, and I would like an advice:
PROFILE:
Type of Undergrad:I am attending the last course of my Bachelor's degree in Economics in a top 10 spanish university.
Undergrad GPA: I don't know exactly, I'm from Spain and my average is 7.7 out of 10 (I am the fifth of a class of 60 people), with honor mentions in Economic History and Advanced Macroeconomics. My macro & micro average is higher than my global average, and all of them have been increasing since I started. I think that a 7.7/10 average is close to a 3.4 GPA (or something like that, but I'm not sure at all).
GRE:158Q, 159V, 4.0A
Math Courses: [/b][/b][/b][/b][/b]all the mathematics subjects I could (no limitations here, even though my marks are not too high in this aspect).
Letters of Recommendation: One from a top 600 world economist (don't know exactly how positive will it be) and two very positive, one from a top 9% economist (IDEAS ranking).
Research Interests: Development Economics, Behavioral Economics, Macroeconomics, Economic Theory, technological change...
SOP: I think that pretty good, focused in my personal abilities and trying to give a good impression.
Concerns: Don't know my chances and I am worried about it
Other: TOEFL 111
Applying to:
-Barcelona GSE
-CEMFI
-Carlos III
-Stockholm
-Bocconi
-VU Amsterdam
I also know that my 158Q is going to hurt my possibilities but I was hoping to get a different point of view from you :) Do I have a real chance with them (specially CEMFI and Barcelona GSE)? What other schools would be a reasonable target?
Thank you for your attention :D
