It really depends on what kind of institution you are coming from. Some have very difficult undergrad programs but a very low ranked graduate program and so the classes for graduate students are significantly easier (this was the case in my institution). If the adcoms are aware of this, they might take that into account when evaluating your grades but honestly I dont think it would matter much in your case since the rest of your grades are pretty strong.

Posting your profile would probably help people give advice on how to proceed. If you haven't done much math for example it could be worthwhile to delay graduation and stay an extra year to improve on that (This is assuming you dont have anything else lined up like an RA position ).

I accepted one of my offers (really early I know) since it was my top choice going into all this. I'm glad to be done with all this and I really hope everyone in this thread gets in somewhere they'd like to go. Good luck everyone !

I dont think its worth it to give up a good school like chicago for the opportunity at a better school in the future. You might not even get into chicago next time given how noisy the admission process is.

What did you say your interests were in your SOP?
Zilch replied to mrmac3's topic in PhD in Economics
I only listed theoretical econometrics and some specific problems in the field that interest me. I didnt list anything else because I honestly dont know enough about other fields to say if I like them or not. -
It's possible some of the lower ranked programs consider you to be overqualified and think you will get in at higher places so they reject you to save the spot for someone who will actually attend. Kind of a messy system but it makes sense I guess.
