  1. Undergraduate - Top 5 Australian econ school Field : Major in Economics and Finance Undergraduate G.P.A - 6.97/7, university medal Economics courses (Undergrad) : Intro, Intermediate and Honours Level Micro and Macro - all 7s. Micro Policy (7), Macro Policy (7), Intro Metrics (7), Intermediate Metrics (7), Mathematical Economics (6) Maths courses (Undergrad): Advanced Calculus and Linear Algebra 1, Advanced Multivariate Calculus and Ord Differential Equations, Mathematical Analysis and Advanced Topics, Calc and Linear Algebra 2, Mathematical Probability, Applied Mathematical Analysis, Statistical Modelling - All 7s GRE: 169 Q LORS : 2 from thesis supervisors and 1 from summer RA at ANU. Advisors should be strong. Applying to : US top 20, Oxbridge and LSE. Top ARE programs Research/Teaching : Corporate Finance TA during uni. Honours thesis awarded undergraduate thesis prize. Concerns : Not too much guidance online regarding Australian applicants. How much would the 6 in math econ hurt me? Looking for : Looking to apply in the cycle at the end of 2022, is there any benefit to additional maths courses? Curious to gain some perspective on the range I should target and competitiveness for ARE programs as well. Any help would be much appreciated.
  2. I've used Urch to guide my decisions about subjects and research so far, and now I'm getting a bit closer to application season I want to narrow down my choices for applications. My friend from the year above was accepted in the 5-15 range, she had more math but less research, so I'm not really sure where I fit. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! :) PROFILE: Type of Undergrad: BEcon Honours from Go8 Aus University that usually ranks in Top 50 on Repec Undergrad GPA: ~90/100 . Not sure of conversion to 0-4 GPA. Type of Grad: - Grad GPA: - GRE: 168Q, 165V Math Courses: Mathematical Analysis (90), Probability (90), Linear Algebra (94), Statistics (88), 2 Semesters of Calc (83, 81) Econ Courses: Microeconomics I-IV (82,86,96,91), Macroeconomics I-IV (78,80,93,91), Econometrics I-IV (!62!,81,88,98), Microeconometrics (98), Industrial Organization (86), Math Econ (99), Game Theory (83), Labour Economics (84) Other Courses: Nothing relevant Letters of Recommendation: (1-2) Two younger professors in the Econ department, I have RA'd for both of them and taken a class that I did well in from one of them. Neither are superstars but both have PhDs from top institutions and publish relatively well. They know me well and expecting them to be helpful. (3) The last letter will likely come from my Department Chair who doesn't know me as well as the other two, but knows me indirectly through the other two professors and is also involved closely with the honours program, so can probably compare me to past honours students who have gone onto U.S. PhD programs. Research Experience: Honours thesis which is a solo R&R at a good field journal. Co-author on a paper with one of letter writers where I started out as RA, has been submitted. Contributed to a couple of other papers while an RA, some have been published. Teaching Experience: Tutor for undergraduate micro and econometrics classes. Concerns: Half-baked mathematics major. I enjoy maths and do well but wasn't finding the higher level classes rewarding or helpful with my economics classes so dropped the major and decided to continue just with Econ. Worried this will send a bad signal. GRE could be a little better and I have the chance to take it again with some more preparation. Mediocre marks in my first year Econ subjects, including a 62 in Econometrics I. I hope the improvements in the more advanced versions of Macro and Econometrics in particular will make up for that.
  3. Hi, I am an Australian student at the University of Melbourne. I've been looking into graduate Economics study, and I understand that a solid background in mathematics is important. I have almost completed my B.A in Economics. My GPA (or equivalent) is strong, but irrelevant, because I have not taken any formal maths classes. Given I want to enter top US/UK graduate schools, I have two options: 1. Spend a year taking maths subjects through the B.Sc (Calc 1/2, Linear Algebra, Real Analysis, Vector Calculus, (calculus based) Statistics), withdraw, then take honours (equivalent of US fourth year - Advanced Micro/Macro etc.) in 2014, apply to US in 2015. 2. Complete a B.Sc (Pure Mathematics), and undertake honours in 2015, apply to US in 2016. I'm guessing these would be necessary to enter a top US graduate school. Cost isn't an issue, as fees are subsidised and deferred in Australia, but quality of life is. As you can see, the second option would set me back a further year, and I'm not sure if the material would be relevant for admission and/or the course work when I (hopefully) enter a program. What is your advice? Would completing the B.Sc afford me any real advantages over the first option? Would the top schools give me serious consideration with the maths classes listed in the first option (and a strong honours degree)? Thanks for your help.
