I'm a second year student on a three year course studying econ and politics in the UK. The system doesn't allow me to take the required math courses, and limited contact hours means that I'm basically a cog in a machine, so I think there is a very low chance I would be able to get research experience especially as I'm already near graduation. I'm considering going through a Msc at LSE which has good placement into top PhD programs, but again I'm not sure how much research experience I could get there and how much math I could do, bringing me back to the problem of poor to nonexistent LORs and no math. If I want to apply for an Econ PhD in the US, do I have any chance? What would I need to do?
