SOP: nothing special, background and future goal to end up in academia.
First, I havent taken cal III or real analysis, these courses arent offered to undergrad economics at our uni. I have come to know that they are essential for top 30 Phd programs. Hence, I am thinking of getting MA first, preferably Canadians.
Secondly, I am planning on to apply to UBC, U of Waterloo, Dalhousie, U of Winniepeg. There are other programs like U of T, Queens', McGill and Alberta that I am considering as well. I dont know if I am applying to right range of schools. So if anyone could help me deciding which ones to apply to if Im looking to going on to academia later on.
Thank you!
