My Target Scores

Found 3 results

  1. Type of undergrad- BS - MS dual degree in Mathematics from a reputed science institute in India. Master's thesis project done at Computer science dept in India's top most institute. Undergrad GPA- (so far) 9.0 on a 10 point scale. GRE - 169 Q, 156 V, 3 AW Math Courses- [We have A-B-C-D scoring pattern] Calculus - I,II (A); Linear Algebra(A); Probability and Statistics- I (A), II (B); Analysis - 4 courses (B); Group Theory (B); Point Set topology (B); Graph Theory, Algorithms, Mathematical Biology (A); ODE(A), PDE(B) ; Calculus on Manifolds, Differential Geometry (A); Combinatorics (B); Stochastic Processes (A) Economics Courses- None. But I have done a few online courses and took up some related projects M-S Thesis Project- Mainly studying economic models using extensive mathematics including Optimization and Game Theory. Should lead to a publication eventually. LOR - One from my MS guide who is in CS dept, but has done algorithmic game theory previously, One from a prof who has taught 4 courses and guided for a semester project. Third from my statistics Prof, who taught 2 courses and guided for a semester project. Research Experience - Currently doing my MS project which is mostly about forming new theories and computations, which can definitely count as a research experience. Took up one summer project in Game theory. Have worked on 4 semester projects studying Learning theory, complex analysis, Game theory etc. No other formal research experience. Teaching Experience- No formal experience. But confident about teaching maths. Research interests - Development Economics, Microeconomic Theories, Game Theory. I know that I have nothing to show my economics skills, but I have been reading Economics since last three years. I have taken all courses which can help me in doing economics. I have read and studied various parts of Game Theory since last two years. Also, the ongoing project involves a lot of economic understanding and I need to read some research papers for that. I aim to apply to various universities in the US for Econ PhD. I'm confused about my odds at getting into one because of formal training in extensive maths. No one from my institute has studied economics further, except a student who took up MS in Finance at Oxford. Could you please give any inputs as to how I should proceed? Also, I won't be able to apply to more than 13-14 universities, so which universities should I be applying to? Thank you very much in advance.
  2. Type of Undergrad:Top 25 LAC Undergrad GPA: 3.65 (ECON 3.67, Math 3.54) Type of Grad: n/a Grad GPA: n/a GRE: 168Q/163V Math Courses:Calc 2 - B Multi - B+ Linear Algebra Proxy (but light) - A ODE - B+ Probability - B+ Discrete - A- Abstract Algebra - A Real Analysis - A Econ Courses:Basic Econ Stats (OLS, etc) - A- Econometrics - B Mathematical Economics - B+ Macro - A- Micro - A- Other Courses: Letters of Recommendation: 1 from my major advisor who I've taken a class with, 1 hopefully from my real analysis professor, and 1 TBD Research Experience: 2 years at an economic consulting firm, focusing on energy; may try to get a letter of recommendation from here but not sure Teaching Experience: none Research Interests: energy, healthcare SOP: Will write about interest in wholesale electricity markets most likely Other: I plan on applying widely in the 20-40 range of schools. I definitely planning on applying to a few ARE programs as well. Any thoughts on my chances?
  3. Hello to all. I would like to know what chances I have of getting into a PhD programme in the US or Canada. My grades aren't suited for top 20 at all, but I'm not sure about the rest of the schools. So here goes my profile: Undergrad- economics honours in the top arts college in the country (India), got 73% aggregate (1st class score), but I have bad grades in math and stats, however, an A+ in Introductory real analysis. Rest of the eco courses- A-'s mostly. Post grad- top 3 institutions in the country, again, I got b and B- in maths, stats and econometrics. The rest are all A-'s again. Aggregate=70%(first class) I dropped a year(2016-17) to study for the civil service. This year, I will be appearing for the civil service exams. But I am also appearing for MPhil entrances, that's the intermediate course we have to take to earn a PhD in most places in India. I was hoping that while doing the MPhil, I could retake the grad math, stats and econometrics courses, and also undertake research work, apart from writing my MPhil dissertation. If I improve my grades, and also do well in MPhil, would I stand a chance to break through the top 50/70? The reason I didn't too well in undergraduate or graduate level was because I didn't put in much effort, I didn't study much, and was focussed on other things. But now I have gradually learned to like research,while writing term-papers at the grad level. I am confident I can get good GRE scores and LORs during my MPhil, but will my unimpressive 5 years of grades put it all to waste?? My school has sent people abroad in the past, but I assume they had better grades than I did. If there's anyone who is familiar with UMass Econ PhD, could you tell me if I stand a chance for that place? My graduate school professors know the faculty there, so would that boost my chances despite my grades?? Is an MA in Europe(2018), instead of MPhil, a better alternative? Thanks to everyone in advance. Eager to read your replies. I've been scouring through this forum, and i inferred that my chances are quite bleak. I will be talking to my professors in a few days, but I'd still like to hear from you guys. Also, please advice me on what I need to do more to boost my chances.
