econguy111 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I took the GRE a few days ago and got Q165, V167. Given the fact that many top schools aren't requiring GRE scores, should I submit these relatively mediocre scores to top programs? Here's further context about my profile: Undergrad from average Canadian school with 3.94 overall GPA and 3.99 GPA in Math/Stats/Econ courses. A+'s in all math and econ courses, including real analysis and advanced cal, except for A's in linear algebra and probability theory. Master's from top-2 Canadian school (top 40ish globally) with all As and A+s. Short RA-ship during my Master's with a good young prof on an AEJ paper. I've been working in the public sector for 1.5 years since finishing my Master's. LORs from my RA-ship prof and MA Econometrics prof, neither of whom know me super well, but both seemed happy to write the letters. Other one is from a PhD economist I worked with in government who got to know me very well. Applying to US top 10 schools and Toronto.

Zubrus Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 U of T : Economics : Graduate Programs In the last 7-8 years I see a Yale and NYU placement (for Econ). So these were probably in the 1% of graduates from U of T's MA program. A 165Q is probably going to hurt you based on the placement list above.
