Hi, I want to work in Econ Dev at world bank, UN, ADB and similar organizations. I'm not sure which programs to apply to that will give me the best chances to get to those jobs! Aiming at schools like GWU, IHEID, etc. Graduated: May 2019, want to apply for 2020 or 2021. Type of Undergrad: BSc. in Financial Mathematics from Canadian unranked university Undergrad GPA: CGPA (3.15), GPA last twenty credits (3.67), Math GPA (3.8) Low grades in my early years due to bad health issues. Undergrad Econ Courses: Intro Micro (A), Intro Macro (B+), EnvEcon (A), Money and Banking (B+), going to take Intermediate Macro and maybe Micro Math Courses: Calc I,II,III (D-, D+, A-), Prob&Stats I,II(A-, A), Ordinary Differential Equations (A-), Partial Differential Equations (A+), Linear Algebra (A-), Applied Linear Algebra (A+), Numerical Analysis (A+), Stochastic Processes (A+), Fin Maths I,II(B+,A+) LORs: Two professors in whose classes I got A+'s. One was my thesis Programming: R, Python, SAS, MATLAB Research Experience: Undergrad Thesis in Mathematics (A+) Work experience: Data Analyst Intern at the gov , and analytics/data science role at a top bank in canada (July '19 - July '20) Questions: 1. Where can I get into a decent masters in Europe, Canada, US?? 2. Can I do anything to strengthen my application?

Hi, I'm relatively new to this forum, but after reading several posts am so happy to discover this forum!!! My situation: I attended a major US university majored in Economics looking to apply for Msc Econ targeting only european schools (really want the experience and travel across europe :D) I have a very low overall GPA 3.4,,,, major GPA is quite good, haven't confirmed with the school for specific major GPA, but among my econ courses have three Bs and the rest either A or A-. For math level I will be comfortable because I am only one course short to double major mathematics,,, So I've taken all the hard math courses, i think that's one major reason for my low GPA. My GPA for entry or medium level math courses is pretty good, so I guess math level would suffice for msc econ requirement. GRE score: reasoning 680 Quan 800 Analytical 3.5 LORs: pretty weak LORs,, since I graduated three years ago I can only provide references from work, since none of the professors will remember me... and my work is only finance related, not econ related. Target school: LSE Warwick UCL U of Amsterdam (any recommendation is welcome!) My major question is, I understand LSE min requirement for overseas GPA is 3.5, would they consider my major GPA tho,,? How important is cumulative GPA in this case? Since LSE is my top choice,,, please someone tell me if I've got a chance. And please if my list of schools are aiming out of my reach, recommend some schools that I would have a chance! Although it might look like I'm not seriously considering msc of Econ, but after working for a while I realize I prefer school much better, and might even pursue a PHD in the future, I might not have been serious in studying before but I'm determined to achieve high GPA in graduate school... Thanks in advance!!!!

i want your opinion regarding my chances for getting admission in for Ms & Phd in economics(macro)for fall 2015. I have completed a 5year dual degree course in industrial engineering and operations. I am very confused regarding my chances for phd as i am shifting from my core field. Do i stand a chance at getting an admission? My credentials are as follows GRE-V 156-170, Quant 170-170 CGPA- 7.7( 77%) One paper in economics One international conference 1 lor of HOD of social science dept. 1 lor from eco professor 1 from math's professor But grades in mathematics are mostly c or b which is most concerning for me. As all the uni are demanding good grades in math. but i got full score in maths in GRE. Both paper is theoretical and based on statistics rather than mathematical models. Also i have shortlist some universities. Do you think they are also ambitious? Please suggest some good uni for the same, which can be considered as moderate or safe. cmu-tepper uni of pennsylvania george washington uni uni of washington-st louis uni of illinois-urbana Pennstate Ohiostate Uni of illinois urbana boston uni uni of minnesota-twin cities uni of virginia John hopkins
