Hi all,
Keen to get opinions on my chances at admission to a master of economics program at top UK schools (Oxbridge / LSE) and the EU (Toulouse, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Bocconi etc.)
Undergrad and Honours:
Studied at the University of New South Wales in Australia (ranked in top 3)
Distinction average in economics courses (GPA around 5.5-6 out of 7), major in econometrics
2:1 overall (82%, cut off 85% for 1st class) in Honours year (5 advanced coursework subjects (postgrad/phd level) + 1 thesis), 1st class thesis, ranking was probably around 7/16.
Work experience:
2 years at a top economic consulting firm
2 years in group strategy team for a $10b market cap+ company
GRE score: 90th percentile
