Hello, I'm a recent graduate and hoping to enter graduate school within the next two years. Currently, I'm working as a research assistant for a large international organization in Washington, DC. I am under a two year contract, but I can terminate it if I please (although I'm definitely leaning more toward doing the full two years) Here's my profile: PROFILE: Type of Undergrad: BA Economics, Minor mathematics from Top-100 institution Undergad GPA: 3.810 Grad GPA: N/A GRE: 163Q/155V/4.5 AW (retake?) Math Courses: Calculus 1 (B+) Calculus 2 (A) Multivariate Calc (B+) Number Theory (A-) Linear Algebra (A-) Mathematical Statistics (A) Differential Equations (A) Real Analysis (A) Econ Courses: Intro to Micro (A) Intro to Macro (A) Intermediate Micro (B+, taken abroad[most failed class at the university]) Intermediate Macro (A) Labor Economics (A) Econometrics (A) Economics of Development (A) I/O Independent Study (A) History of Economic Thought (B, also taken abroad) Letters of Recommendation: Econ Prof who is within the top 1% of cited professors (2 PhDs: Math and Econ); Econ Prof from Top-20 institution; Economist at the international organization I work at (Econ PhD from top 5) Research Experience: Three undergraduate empirical papers (unpublished); Research Assistantship for a Top 1% cited Econ Prof (1 year); Research Assistantship at large international organization (2 years) Concerns: I think the B+'s in Intermediate Micro and especially multivariate calc could hurt me. I'm also concerned that my GRE Q score is not high enough. But from what I understand, the grades in diff eqs and analysis help out in determining my mathematical ability. Interests: Applied Micro Computational Economics Behavioral/Experimental Economics Econometrics (Applied and Theoretical) Monetary Policy (and its effect on capital markets) Financial Economics I realize the above is a long list, but at this point it's very hard for me to choose just one field. Of the above, I'm most interested in behavioral/experimental and financial economics (which I think pair well together, no? Reach Schools: Chicago (my dream) Northwestern NYU Columbia Berkeley Stanford Yale Princeton Harvard MIT UPenn (Applied Economics Program) Target Schools: Wisconsin Michigan Caltech UCSD UCLA Penn State Maryland Brown Purdue "Safety" Schools Boston U Boston College Illinois Iowa Virginia I'm definitely open to suggestions if you think there's a good fit for me to go (whether abroad or here). Thank you all for your help.

Hello everyone, I am new here and considering applying to CUNY Graduate Center Ph.D. program in Econ. I am a junior undergraduate student at another CUNY now, double major Econ and Math. Overall GPA 3.89. I took GREs last year and did not get very good scores 720/156 Quant 440/149 Verb and 4 on Essay. I have excellent letters of rec and planning to graduate with Honors in History. What are my chances of getting into the school? Which schools should I consider for my scores and grades? I am open to moving away from NYC. Thank you!

Hello everyone After lurking around the forum for more than an year finally I have created an account. I will be applying for Phd programs in Information Systems for fall 2014. I will be applying for around 15 programs across north america including the top ones. I do know that MIS is a field which doesn't evoke much interest to most applicants here and there have been quite a few threads about the declining job market for MIS Phd's, but I am motivated to pursue a research career in this field, publishing hopefully in the top 3 journals (MISQ, ISR, Management Science). If there are any other MIS aspirants, then feel free to post here. I will be giving my GMAT and TOEFL in the summer, currently building my research experience. Cheers gc
