Hi all,
I'm casting a super wide net with my apps this year, including MA Econ, MPP, and RA programs. If anyone could give me feedback on what my chances are at these places, it would be much appreciated!
GPA: 3.6
Econ GPA: 3.9
GRE (superscore): V/Q/W: 165/162/5.0
Econ Courses: Interm. Micro (A), Interm. Macro (A), Intro Econometrics (A), Advanced Panel Econometrics (A), Mathematical Econ (B+), Econ of Uncertainty (A), a bunch of other electives (All A's)
Math Courses: Multivariable Calc (B), Stats II (B+), ODE ©, Linear Algebra (C+) (took calc I and II in high school)
Quantitative senior thesis in econ of taxation
Summer economics intern at DC think tank
----
Obviously my weakness is math, which is why I'm focusing on master's programs.
MA Econ:
LSE
UT-Austin
Boston U
Duke
Wisconsin
Boston U
MPP:
UChicago
Michigan
Georgetown
HKS
Duke
Do I realistically have a good shot at some of these top programs? Or will my math grades sink my chances?
In particular, am I a good bet to get into UT-Austin? And should I bother applying to LSE?
Thanks!!
