Hey guys! I am curious to see other peoples' opinions on my chances of getting into a PhD program that is ranked between 40-75 and the programs that I am currently applying to. I am also seeking some insight into the impact that poor grades in LA2 and ODE will have on my chances of gaining admittance to the programs I described earlier.
PROFILE:
Type of Undergrad: top 100 US public University/ top 50 economics
Undergrad GPA: 3.57 overall / 3.81 Economics/ 3.58 Mathematics
Type of Grad: N/A
Grad GPA: N/A
GRE: 163Q/ 153V
Math Courses: Calc I-III (A, A, A), Linear Algebra I-II (B+,C+), Bridge To Abstract Math (A), Introduction to Probability (A), ODE (B-),
Econ Courses (grad-level):N/A
Econ Courses (undergrad-level): Int. Micro (A), Int Macro (A-), Econometrics (B+), Int. Trade (A), Game Theory (A), Fin. Markets (A), Econ. Analysis(A), Exp. Econ (B+), Math Econ (A),
Other Courses: Programming (B)
Letters of Recommendation: Should be pretty good, all know me quite well and all attended top 25 programs
Research Experience:N/A
Teaching Experience: Some insignificant tutoring
Research Interests: Labor, Applied Micro, IO
SOP: Standard SOP, listed research interests and why I fit in program
Concerns: No real analysis, B's in linear, ODE and Econometrics, no research experience
Other: My GPA is weighed down by a couple of B's I got in irrelevant courses ( Philosophy, Speech) and a C in chemistry so I think that, assuming the adcoms discount those courses from my GPA, my true GPA is a bit higher.
Applying to: Kentucky, Rutgers, South Carolina, Syracuse, Notre Dame, Northeastern
Thanks
