snickers bar

Hey, I just wanted to thank everyone for their feedback. After weighing everything a bit more, I've decided to get a couple recs on file and take the math subject GRE this year, and then spend a year or two working in industry while applying to stats, finance, and OR programs that best match my interests.

Hi all, I'd like some thoughts on my current situation. I'm currently a senior math major, and up until a few months back, I'd been pretty much dead set on attending grad school in pure math. This past summer, however, I interned at a trading firm ended up leaving with a pretty serious interest in financial markets. I'm still looking at math grad schools, but mainly towards the more applied side (i.e. programs that'll give me the chance to take more coursework and conduct research in derivatives pricing). I also started looking into Econ PhD programs that'll give me the chance to do markets-oriented research. My main question is: will Econ programs give me serious consideration with essentially zero undergraduate economics coursework? If not, would the recommended course of action be to go for an Econ MA/MS, or work for a few years in something like a fed/similar RA or econ consulting job? Profile's below, to give a better picture of where I'm at. Type of Undergrad: BA Mathematics, USNews T10 Undergrad GPA: 3.8. Avg 3.91 across Soph+Jr years, had some issues as a freshman. Should be ~3.85 at grad. GRE: Taking this fall. Math Courses: Calc II/III, DiffEq, Linear Algebra, Intro to Proofs, Abstract Algebra (yearlong sequence), Galois Theory, Number Theory, Real Analysis (yearlong sequence), Complex Analysis, Probability Theory (yearlong sequence), Differential Geometry, Advanced Linear Algebra. Generally A/A- grades, with with a B- linear algebra from my freshman year. Econ Courses: Intermediate micro (B, from freshman year). AP credit for intro micro/macro. Haven't taken an Econ class in 2.5 years. Other Courses: Intro to CompSci, OOP, Data Structs & Algorithms, assorted physics courses. Letters of Recommendation: Two from math instructors/research supervisors, one from a physics instructor. Research Experience: Three years research, all in math and physics. Teaching Experience: Tutor for Calc I/II/III, linear algebra, physics mechanics, and electricity & magnetism through school's tutoring program. I'd appreciate any feedback to whether Econ programs are even a realistic goal at this point (and how I can improve my profile), or if I should just drill down on the applied math programs and go from there. Thanks!
