It is true ODE would be useful, yes. The more math the better, I would say. As for the advanced macro/micro, I talk from my personnal experience, and got offers in those three universities without any advanced macro/micro classes. So maybe I'm an exception, don't know. But anyway, if you can't fit both on your schedule, I would say advanced micro would be better to take considering your current grades.

You really shouldn't have any problems getting in any canadian grad school. Maybe if you want to prove you deserve better than B+ at micro you can take Advanced Micro, could help and be an assurance, but even without it my guess is that you would get acceptance to Toronto/Queens/UBC.

You got a response today from LSE? Still no answer for me.

Was waitlisted for Cambridge's MPhil Economic Research today.

Same here aascd. Haven't heard from them yet.

I got accepted to Queen's and UoT with similar offers (TA + funding) and am still wondering which one to chose to be best-prepared for PhD.

My end goal would be the best PhD possible, actually, so I guess I would candidate to those in the US too. Thanks for all the insights!

Yes, I am considering to pursue a PhD, and am actually considering candidating to University of Toronto, UBC and Queen's M.A in addition to LSE. But I thought LSE would offer me a better chance to enter in a good PhD afterwards. Is it worth the money? And, do you think it would be better for me to take for next semester the second mathematics class (Mathematics II), or a monetary economics class instead?
-
Here's what I did as math classes: Statistics I and II: A Math modelling: A Stochastic process: A Mathematics I; Multivariate calculus, Linear algebra, optimisation : A Analysis : A- I intend to take Mathematics II next semester, which content is: Topology, Dynamical systems and dynamic optimization, Differential equations, optimal control, game theory.

Oh I didn't know that, it's good to know. I was actually considering candidating also in the Msc Econometrics and Mathematical Economics. Do you think it is worth trying?

Hi, I am currently enrolled in the last year of a BBA, with a major in Economics and Mathematics in Canada. I am interested in applying to the LSE Msc in Economics. As I have done a BBA, some classes I took are completely useless for such a master (Human ressources management/IT). Yet I also had two full years with classes such as Stochastic processes, applied mathematics (calculus/linear algebra), econometrics, macro/micro, and have been a Teaching Assistant in Operational Research/Statistics for one year and have a cumulative GPA of 3.9/4. I was thus wonderring if I should candidate to the 2-year LSE Msc in economics, with the one year preparation courses, or if I should try my shot directly for the one-year Master program. What is your advice?
