Other: I transferred from a community college so could not get more math and econ in the 1st and 2nd year. In university, I was under pressure of graduation (financial problem) so I could not prolong to take more classes.
The schools I attended only grade on A,B,C,D. Almost all the Bs I have was around 89% (sad)
Please tell me where I should aim for, (target, main, and safe). Do I have a chance for PhD this year? How can I improve my profile now? (I am already graduated) Thank you very much for all your help.
