Has anyone heard anything back from Emory? It seems that some applicants got an interview invitation.

Update: I got As in Real Analysis, Stochastic Process and IO and an A- in Health Econ. Besides, I also have 170 in Gre Q. I wish these could compensate my poor grade a little little bit.

Thank you for sharing your experience! Actually, I should have enrolled in any grad econ courses this semester, since it seems more helpful for me now. During the coming senior year, I hope I could participate in some research. It seems that a master program is more realistic for me now.

Thank you for your time and advice! I really did a terrible job in the first several semesters. Though there are excuses such as different teaching methods and training (as an athlete of school team), I would admit the main reason is that I was a little lax with coursework. Now I am trying really hard this year to compensate my history grade. A mix of PhD and master's programs seems to be a suitable choice for me. As for math course, I'm getting better now (got 2 'A' in mid), but still need efforts future. I'm kind of passionate with econ so far, especially in micro and behavioral parts. So I believe an econ PhD is what i want now.

Thank you so much for your advice! I'm now trying to perform well in this semester, and plan to participate in some research back in home university. Hopefully I could slightly compensate my freshman and sophomore years.

Hi everyone, I am a junior planning to applying for graduate econ program of 2020 fall. My undergraduate school is in China, while I spend the whole junior year exchanging in Notre Dame. In China (freshman & sophomore): Overall GPA: 3.2 Main Econ Courses: Micro (A), Macro (B+), Metrics (B+), Game Theory (A), Labor Econ (A) Main Math Courses: Mathematical Analysis I-III ©, Linear Algebra ©, Prob & Stata © Exchange (junior): Overall GPA: 3.91 (last semester) Main Econ Courses: Advanced Micro (A), Public Econ (A-), IO (taking), Health Econ (taking) Main Math Courses: ODE (A), Operation Research (A), Real Analysis (taking), Stochastic Process (taking) Gre (preparing): In recent practice, I could keep Q 167+ My first two years are terrible, especially in math, and I'm sure that they'll have large negative effects. I was wondering if there is any possibility to compensate these drawbacks? (online math courses/gre math sub/undergraduate research?) Basing on my background, my expectation is top50 programs, is that too high? Or it's a better choice to apply some master programs first. Welcome to any suggestions! Thank you :)
