How much does it matter where math courses are taken?
ahududu replied to southerncharm's topic in PhD in Economics
Wow that is crazy. I actually looked up the price for Netmath and it is not bad at all (even my state school is charging more money). Harvard extension is obviously more expensive. I guess I should take a look at Netmath class offerings for the upcoming Fall or even this summer. Thanks again! -

Do you think those are credible enough places to take maths courses? -
I cannot believe that you did not get any offer. Did you apply to only T20 or something? For your question though, you may think of improving your LORs and that can happen in UBC. But honestly, I do not see much of an area from your profile that lacks tremendously. Sorry for not being super helpful.

I'd say Berkeley ARE based on its incredible placement record.

Lol at the person who downvoted my comments. I know the programme very well and instead of disliking, it would be better to disprove what I am saying if you can lol. It would actually help OP to decide.

Yes, precisely what I am saying. You should only go to BGSE, if you already know necessary maths to succeed in a PhD or be very close to that point (meaning Calc1-2-3, LA and RA should be taken before the programme). When you have those necessary skills and go there, you can learn economics and its intuition without struggling too much with the maths side.

If your maths is not truly exceptional, do not go to BGSE. I know the programme from a friend and it is no good if you're already amazing at maths

Is it gonna be a W in your transcript?

I think the best way to assess ranking is to look at the faculty and their students' placements. That should give you an idea about the ranking.

Should I delay and apply next year or take my T12 offer?

Even though this is a quite harsh comment, I have to say I agree with every words he/she said... -
2022 Profile Evaluation low UGPA (50-100 & unranked programs)
ahududu replied to thelongshot's topic in PhD in Economics
I was trying to give a suggestion. No need to childishly downvote mine lol. -
2022 Profile Evaluation low UGPA (50-100 & unranked programs)
ahududu replied to thelongshot's topic in PhD in Economics
Honestly, if you're making a similar money and you're going to do your PhD in 2022, why don't you take some maths classes in the meantime. Real Analysis would do wonders in your case. Though I agree with the above comments saying that research gig would be also amazing to strengthen your profile! -
Which continental European university is better for macro?

UPF BGSE -
Hope not but too early to tell...

I don't think they would be so strictly checking that. If your profile wasn't strong enough in the first place, you would not get accepted anyway. Promising to take a proof based course may actually increase your chances of acceptance but it will be extremely discounted due to you not having grades on them. So, I think that should not be a deal-breaker. But it is just my opinion - I am no expert.
