Econlete Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) I am currently applying and stressing like fuck: UG: Top 5 UK BSc. Mathematics w Economics. (2:1 cause I fucked up 3rd year) 2nd and 3rd covid year, 1st year pre-covid. A+ in all first year courses(analysis, algebra, methods, intro micro + intro macro(combined course)), advanced linear algebra, computational methods, calculus of variations, prob and stats (arithmetics based), A- in Real analysis (Baby Rudin), Measure-Theoretic Probability, Complex Analysis, Intermediate Micro+Macro (combined course), B+ in UG Economics dissertation (as the only maths UG student), Analysis on Manifolds. B - in Linear PDE(Theory of distributions), C in Measure theory, Stochastic processes. GRE: 164/168/4.5 (v/q/a) PG: Canada top 2 MA A+ Micro and Metrics, B- Macro, B+ Math for Economics (never paid attention tbh), underperformed due to stresses; was invited to enrol on term 2 PhD level Metrics. (Never did metrics before MA) Research Experience: Econ UG dissertation, 2 months with some prof who pitied me (Maths UG not allowed to take RA positions in Econ in my UK UG). Letters: Grad director at MA(strong), junior at MA (micro lecturer)(strong), UG departmental tutor (not sure, got A+ in his class though). Applying (Micro theory (Mechanism Design) and Metrics theory): Canadian Top 2, Cornell, Rice, Vanderbilt, WUSTL, Penn State, UWO Edited January 13, 2022 by Econlete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnbvbnm Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 One of the signals is confusing. How did you get C in measure theory but A+ in econometrics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a major mental health issue in 3rd year (covid year 2) and so barely passed measure theory, never got the chance to see what happened due to school policy not allowing student to see the paper Edited January 13, 2022 by Econlete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If adcom is familiar with your MA program, it should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
