Here is my educational profile:

Post Graduation(MSc Math Education)= 73.57%

Post Graduation(Economics)=71.36%

Work-Ex:

3 years 9 months entrepreneurship in the Education domain

Currently working in IIM Lucknow as an Academic Associate(7 month+)

I have a GRE score of 304(QA-162 VA-142). I have sent my score to McGill University, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Michigan State University, and Arizona State University. What are my chances of getting selected for Ph.D. in Economics? Thanks in advance.

How strong is the reputation of the University where you did your studies? And how strong are your LOR? 

Regarding your GRE. I don't know what the cutoff is that these universities use (it's normaly somewhere between 160-169) if you score over the cutoff admission comitees won't care much about the score anymore. Now the verbal score is normally not very important, but having a 142 is quite a bad signal.
