Hey everyone! I am applying for a master program that might potential help me transit into econ. I did psychology for my undergraduate but became more and more disenchanted about empirical studies in psych.
I understand that it won't be possible for me to get into any prestigious econ program unless I can somehow prove my mathematical abilities with a Master degree. I am wondering if there is any Master program that is willing to take students with weak mathematical background but have strong Econ PhD outcome.
I understand these two criteria are conflicting but any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
I have been applying for a few applied stats program but I doubt that will be enough for a econ PhD.
