mathenomics Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 If you're eventually thinking of applying to PhD programs, I would strongly recommend that you take an additional year to take more math courses at your current school. Would this be possible at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyolim93 Posted November 27, 2016 Author Share Posted November 27, 2016 Thank you for your recommendation! But is it almost impossible to get an admission if I took only a few math courses? (i only took 5 math-econ related courese and I didn't took any advacned math courses) Is Barcelona GSE selective ?? I took almost 30 econ courses, so I think my economics background is rather solid tan mathmatics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
