Thanks for the response, I'll let you know what happened next year. I think I'll look around for some Canadian masters and see what happens.

Hey, thanks for the response. Yeah I understand Latin profiles are hard to evaluate. My main concern is that they will disregard my Math and Advanced Econ courses since they can't verify the rigor of my classes, this is why I'm worried about which schools to apply (I can't afford applying to all of them). The following is a brief description of my classes if it helps at all: Real Analysis (Bartle: Elements of Real Analysis) Advanced Macro/Microeconometrics (Wooldridge/Angrist) Advanced Microeconomics I (Chapters 1-6 Mas-Collel) Advanced Microeconomics II (Chapters 15-19 Mas-Collel) Advanced Microeconomics III (Chapters 7-9 Mas-Collel) Advanced Macroeconomics I (Stoke&Lucas&Prescott) Advanced Macroeconomics II (Stoke&Lucas&Prescott)

Hey guys, thanks for taking the time. Good luck to you all !! Type of Undergrad: Best South American – Economics B.A., some grad courses. Minor in Art History. Undergrad GPA: 3.6 Type of Grad:N/A Grad GPA:N/A GRE: Q: 167, V: 160, AW: 4.0 Math Courses: Multivariate Calculus (3 Courses)(A), Linear Algebra (A), Probability Theory (A), Mathematical Statistics (B), Real Analysis (B), Differential Equations (A), Variation Calculus (A). Econ Courses: Intro Micro/Macro (A, A), Intermediate Micro/Macro (A,A), Advanced Econometrics (B), Advanced Macro/Microeconometrics (B/C), International Trade (A), Advanced Microeconomics I ©, Advanced Microeconomics II (A), Advanced Microeconomics III (A), Advanced Macroeconomics (B), Development (A), Optimal Taxation Theory (A). Research Experience: RA for researcher in finance (Chicago PhD). BA thesis. Work Experience: 1 year intern at federal research department 1 year at finance firm (working for a bunch of PhD alumni) Letters of Recommendation: (Possible letters) 1 Junior Faculty (not a really strong letter, not so well connected) 1 Thesis Advisor, Senior Faculty (I don’t know how good his LOR could be) 2 Current job (Harvard and Stanford PhD alumni should be good, some connections at certain Universities) 1 PhD Chicago researcher (might be good) Research Interests: Macroeconomics, Macroeconometrics, Finance (secondary). SOP: Standard Comments: I suck at PR and I didn’t do as good as I should have at school, so it’s really likely that my academic LORs will be weak. Also, I’m willing to do M.A. programs to boost academic LORs and re-apply to PhD programs, hopefully having a better shot at high-rank PhD programs (Top 12). Applying to: Clueless, please make suggestions. Biggest concerns: Possible weak LORs GPA could be better.
