Compact

That is good to hear. I was hoping this would be the case. I will work on my list of schools. I'll try to remain in the west coast region.

Any thoughts?

For micro, we used Perloff and Jehle and Reny: Advanced Micro Theory (Primary). For macro, we used Mankiw and Romer: Adv Macroeconomics (Primary). For prob, we used Billingsley: Prob and Measure. For measure theory, we used Tao and Royden: Real Analysis(Primary).

The MA leans more towards advanced undergraduate/basic masters level. The math/stat courses were very rigorous.

I am not looking for a full profile evaluation at this point. I am currently working on my MA in econ but I wanted to get a sense of how admissions would view my previous course record. Profile Type of Undergrad: Bachelors in Finance (Pretty unknown university for finance and econ) Undergrad GPA: 3.63 Type of Grad: MA Econ in progress (finish spring 2021) Grad GPA: 3.83 Math Courses(list the grades for each course): I will list the math courses in years. I was not a very good student early on but I wonder how admissions would view this. For the first two years, it is 3 different attempts. 1st yr: Precalc (Withdraw/Fail/B). 2nd yr: Applied Calc (Withdraw/Fail/A). 3rd yr: Calc I and Calc II (A-/B) Linear Algebra (B) 4th yr: Calc III (A-) Analysis I (A) 5th yr (MA program): A- in Grad Probability (Measure & Probability). B+ in Measure Theory. Econ Courses Undergrad(list the grades for each course): All A's for intro/intermediate micro, intro/intermediate macro, game theory, econometrics, IO expect B+ in advanced micro. Econ Courses Msc(list the grades for each course): All A's in Micro and macro, econometrics I and II. In progress: microeconometrics, time series, and game theory. I can post any other relevant detail needed to make a judgement but i'm primarily wondering about courses right now. My undergrad GPA is only as high as it is because the withdraws and fails were replaced by B/A's. There are some poor grades such as C's/B's in courses like music, art, and even in a finance class. But I was hoping an upwards trajectory in all my courses (especially math) would offset it a bit. I plan to take one or more more math courses next semester as well. I understand that top programs don't need to risk it on a student such as myself but what about the case about other good programs?
