I will probably also apply for about 5-7ish schools ranked between T5 and T15. I have shortlisted some schools (to apply for masters), namely PSE, TSE, CEMFI, BGSE, UBC, Toronto, Oxford. I would like to ask if there are any other schools that I should consider. Any comments are welcomed, thanks.

Hello, My target schools are generally middle ranked schools like UVA, US Davis-Irvine-SB, Michigan State, Wisconsin-Madison and maybe a couple of upper frontier schools such as Duke, UCLA and UCSD. I would be very happy if you evaluate my chances for getting admitted into phd program of one of these schools. Profile: Undergraduate education: top research university in an Eastern European country Undergraduate Degree: Economics Undergraduate GPA: 3.82 Math Classes: Calculus I-II (A,A), Linear Algebra (A), Differential Equations (A), Mathematical Programming (graduate level course and I'm currently taking it, probably will pass with B or B+), Models and Methods in Linear Optimization I-II (A, B), Advanced Calculus (currently taking, textbook is baby rudin, will pass with probably with B+,A- or A), Math for Econ (A), Discrete and Combinatorial Mathematics (A) Statistics Courses: Probability and Statistics I-II (A, A), Stochastic Models (A-), Applied Data Analysis (A) Economics Courses: Macroeconomic Theory I-II (A,A), Microeconomic Theory I-II (A,A), Econometrics I (A-), Theories of Growth and Development I-II (A,A), Game Theory (B+), Institutions and Development (A) Other Courses: Algorithms and Programming (java) (A-), Some European and world history courses (A's mostly) Research Experience: unfortunately I have no credible research experience. Although in econometrics and growth courses I have written 2 research papers as assignment, I guess they are far from being enough. I will take a seminar in macroeconomics in which we will prepare an honors thesis in spring 2018, but it will not show up in my transcript at the time of admission. I have also completed my summer internship in a leading think-tank in my country as a research intern. Letters of Recommendation: one is from one of my professors who holds a phd from Oxford, she has published in top journals of her field recently. She was also a visiting scholar in Princeton during the previous year. Second letter can be written by a professor whose field is applied microeconomics and got the phd from Northwestern, he is also active in research. Third one is from a professor working on institutional economics and has world wide reputation in that area (her phd is from Marryland). Work experience: As I mentioned above, I have done my summer internship in one of the leading think-tanks focusing on economical policy-making in my country. I have no industry experience. My Toefl score has come 97 which is a little bit low unfortunately, but in these schools I listed above the minimum requirement is usually below my score. My GRE verbal is 155 and aw is 4. Thanks in advance.
