Hi, I am new to this community and I am not quite sure on how I should post my profile details. I was educated in the UK, and thus my details do not fall into the tradition categories. However, I would be grateful for any feedback. Undergrad: BSc Economics (First Class Honours) from Top 3-4 in the UK, with high grades in my second and third year. Good feeback on my dissertation. Graduate: MPhil Economics; two year programme at Top 1-2 in the UK; research potential (as identified in the thesis) suitable for PhD Other: currently working full-time as special teaching staff and research assistant in my country's national university. GRE: Q165, V156, AW4.5 (english not native tongue) Letters of Recommendation: From my undergraduate personal advisor, who has only good things to say about me; my graduate thesis supervisor, who I think was happy with my work, and a professor at my current workplace for whom I worked as a research assistant on two different occasions. Teaching Experience: By the time the phd programme starts, I will have 2 full years of teaching under my belt. Research Experience: The two stints as a research assistant and my two dissertations. Research Interests: Mainly applied theory in microeconomics. IO, International trade, political economy. Also, Game Theory and econometrics. Concerns: The GRE quant score. Initially I was at the 92%, but now they have updated the results and I was relegated to the 91%. GRE Quant is the only changeable variable in my profile right now. While I talked with professor, who assured my that it's a satisfactory score, I started growing worry about it. Applying to: Mainly schools between the top 10-35. Also, a couple of schools in the top 10 Again I would greatly appreciate any feedback. Thank you for your time.
