  1. Would I have any chance of getting into top 30 econ programs? What about top 40?
  2. I am already a PhD student. I am currently at the second year. My first year was at a top 50 school. Currently I am visiting a top 5 school and taking field courses there. The school that I am enrolled at which I spent my first year at has research interests that are far away from what I want to do. Was advised by department to transfer to a department that better suits my research interests. Not being kicked out but was advised that department could support transferring to another program ( probably requires applying again). Question: Which programs should I apply to? What range of schools should I target? Here is the profile: PROFILE: Type of Grad: First year PhD at top 50 school with following grades: Micro I (A-), Macro I (A-), Metrics I (B), Micro II (A-), Macro II (A-), Metrics II (A), Micro III (A-), Macro III (A-), Metrics III (B),Optimal Control Theory: (A) the optimal control theory course was an upper level graduate course in the math department: Currently taking 2nd year PhD courses in top 5 econ department as a visiting student. Probability theory (Its basically Measure theory and first year phd stat/math course), Game Theory and International Finance. Masters: maters in Econometrics at top 5 British uni with A's in Econometric courses and Micro and Game and dissertation. Bad grades in time series, int finance and macro. Overall GPA: 68% (almost distintion - upper merit) + Masters at Barcelona GSE with gpa 7.8/10 Type of Undergrad: Top 3 British econ program. Really did bad. GRE: I cant remember but maybe 161 in Quantitative, cant recall the others. Letters of Recommendation: Should be good. Was a RA during the first year. Could get letter of recommendation's from full profs taught at top schools. Teaching Experience: Currently TAing intermediate micro. Research Interests: Decision and Game theory + Networks. SOP: Could elaborate on my research ideas. The school that I am enrolled at which I spent my first year at has research interests that are far away from what I want to do. Was advised by department to transfer to a department that better suits my research interests. Not being kicked out but was advised that department could support trasferring to another program ( probably requires applying again). Thanks in advance. Your reply would be highly appreciated as I need to make up my mind asap as to whether I would want to change school.
  3. Hi sulebrahim, Thanks for your reply. Following your advice, I changed the title of the post. I am open to the programs that I would want to apply to. Do you have any advice about the range of schools that I have a fair shot applying for?
