  1. Hello all, I'm beginning to apply to Canadian masters programs and thought it would be beneficial to get your input on my profile. School: Public university unknown/non-ranked econ dept with no phd program in Canada Degree: B.Sc. honours (economics) UGPA: 80% PGPA: likely mid 80s Math courses: Calc | (80) calc || (96) linear alg | (84) intro to proofs (78) mathematical finance | & || (71,82) Euclidean geometry (91) registered in differential equations and linear algebra || next semester stats courses: intro econometrics (100) intro to statistics (80) empirical economics (74) econ courses: intermediate macro (88) intermediate micro (80) advanced macro (90) advanced micro (94) math econ (91) various other econ electives with grades mostly in the 80s, a seminar course with a research component (88) Letters of recommendation: 3 from econ PhDs (from good Canadian departments) who know me well Work experience: internship in public policy, co-authored a major research report that got some media attention in my province Applying to: Queens, SFU, UBC, U of Calgary, Western (MFE not MA), McMaster, Carleton, Guelph, U of T (MA and possibly MFE), York, Wilfrid laurier, ryerson I would appreciate any feedback on programs i am likely to get into, or not, or any suggestions on further places to apply. Thanks for any feedback
  2. Hi! I am a 3-year international student studying at a Top3 U.S. public university right now, and I am preparing for grad school application. It would be great if I could have some of your opinions on my current background and possible ways to improve it. So, here we go: PROFILE: Type of Undergrad: Top3 U.S. public research university (Top 15 Econ dept and top 5 math dept world-wide, according to various rankings). Undergrad GPA: 3.976/4.000 Major GPA: roughly the same GRE: 153V/170Q/3.5W (Took it a year ago) Undergrad Math Courses: (Note: Grade A and A+ are usually the same in my university, but some professors do give out A+ in their classes. A and A+ are both 4.0 in GPA) Single-Variable Calculus 1,2(A, A) Multi-Variable Calculus 1,2(A, A+) Intro to Linear Algebra (A+) Intro to Discrete Mathematics (A) Intro to Differential Equation (A) Honors Linear Algebra (A+) Probability Theory 1(A) Honors Real Analysis 1 (A-) Econ Courses (undergrad-level): Intro1/Intro2/Intermediate Microeconomic Theory (A+, A+, A+) Intro/Intermediate Macroeconomic Theory (A+, A+) Programming courses: C++ 1, 2 (A, A) Classes will be taken before applying: Probability Theory 2, Honors Real Analysis 2, Numerical Methods 1, Econometrics (Undergrad) Letters of Recommendation: (I am considering asking some of these six professors for LOR) 1.4th Year econ thesis adviser (did not take any class with him) 2. An econ professor that I took a class with, and he has been my "mentor" for a long time. Will possibly do research with him over this summer 3. Probability Theory 2 professor who I am considering doing research with next quarter 4. Intermediate Macro Prof who I talked a lot to about PhD programs 5. Honors Real Analysis 2 Prof who I haven't met yet. But will take her class next quarter 6. Econometrics Prof. who I will take next quarter Research Interests: Micro Economics Theory P.s.: I would like to stay in academia and become a professor after my phd program. And I am 80% sure about this. Now I am facing 2 options: 1. Do an econ masters program in my university (one additional year) before applying, no financial aid 2. Apply to PhD programs Concerns: 1. I really don't think my rec letters are strong enough. But I am not sure how much doing the master's program (i.e. taking grad classes with PhD students in my university) would help with rec letters. Based on the description above, which three profs do you think I should ask for rec letters? 2. My GRE scores are not ideal. But that was a year ago. I am very sure I will get a much higher score when I re-take it this summer 3. Do I need the GRE Sub-math test? 4. Also, I talked to someone who did the MA/BA program last year, he advised me to go straight into a PhD program if I am sure about doing it, instead of spending an additional year and extra money (I'm an international student, so I pay a higher tuition) 5. I don't have grad econ classes b/c i'm not allowed to take them unless i am doing the MA/BA program Please share your thoughts with me. Many many thanks :) !!!
  3. Hi all, I have been admitted to the Econometrics and Mathematical Economics program at LSE, the masters program at UBC and the masters (regular stream) at U of T. Since I've been reading through the forum posts on these schools, I've decided to crowdsource some input from you all to see what your thoughts are on these options. From what I have read and heard, the EME program at LSE would be the hardest of the three in terms of course work and may also be the most reputable from the perspective of PhD adcoms. I am well aware of the differences in costs of the programs. Ignoring the cost differences, what are your thoughts on the relative strengths of the programs if my goal is to get into a top PhD program? Specifically, I am interested in the difficulty of the coursework, how easy it is to get quality letters of recommendation from professors, program reputation, preparation for a PhD, and the likelihood of getting into a top PhD program. Thanks.
  4. Hello, PROFILE: Type of Undergrad: Canadian School, H. BA Econ. (unfinished, going into 4th year) -- Second undergrad degree. Undergrad GPA: 3.98 (last year) Type of Grad: N/A Grad GPA: N/A GRE: N/A Math Courses: Calc I (C+) , II (A+). Lin Alg I (A+), Diff. Equations (currently taking), Intro Stats (B+) Econ Courses: Intro Micro/Macro (A+/A+), Intermediate Micro/Macro (A+/A+), Econometrics (A+), Public Econ. (A+), Labour Econ. (A-), Research course (A+), International Trade (A+), and few other Econ courses (A+) Other Courses: Variety of Science courses from a first undergrad degree (low marks). Letters of Recommendation: Not yet Research Experience: Thesis course from a science degree (A-) Teaching Experience: None Research Interests: N/A SOP: N/A Other: The Math courses I am planning to take this year are: Advanced Calc I/II, Lin. Algebra II, Intro to Probability (or math for finance), math for econ. The Econ courses I am planning to take are: Advanced Micro/Macro, Thesis course, Game Theory, Econometrics II. I am assuming that I can score A/A+ on all of these. The C+ for Calc I and the B+ for Stats are from the first degree I did years ago, I have greatly improved myself since then. I need some advice on whether I have any chances of getting into the U of T masters of economics (doctoral stream) program? I would like to eventually apply for a PhD Finance program and I think this would be good preparation. Also, should I take Econometrics II or partial differential equations? Also instead of Advanced Calculus II, should I take the Stochastics stats course. I cannot take Real Analysis anymore since I would need the two advanced calculus courses first (not enough time). I understand also that U of T admissions for the masters program requires two intermediate statistics courses and I was wondering if anyone knows whether Econometrics counts as statistics? (seems to cover a lot of the required knowledge such as regressions and hypothesis testing, etc...) Any advice and help would be appreciated.
