Hello. I am a senior at undergraduate college preparing for MSc Economics program in the Canada and Europe. I feel like I meet all the requirement except MATH: I have Cal I only.
My profile is following:
PROFILE:
Type of Undergrad: Top 10-20 ranked undergrad univ(but around 50s for Economics) in US.
Undergrad GPA: 3.85 (Econ Major: 3.96, Chinese Major: 4.0)
Type of Grad: haven't taken
Grad GPA: N/A
GRE: Q 165(92%), V 152(53%), W 4.0(49%)
Math Courses: Only Calculus I (I am taking Calculus II on next semester.)
Econ Courses (grad-level): N/A (I haven't taken any graduate course which I am worried about)
Econ Courses (undergrad-level): Economics Honors research, Game Theory, Public Finance, Econometrics, Intro to Statistical Methods, Stocks and Bonds, Intermediate Micro/Macro, Principle of Micro/Macro. I got all As except Principle of Micro(A-)
Other Courses: Chinese courses. Advanced Language, Chinese writing system, Chinese history, Chinese literature, etc
Letters of Recommendation: One from Economics adviser (Microeconomics professor), One from Econometrics professor.
Research Experience: One semester with Econ adviser on theoretic research(amending and updating theory). Currently, I am doing Financial Economics research. Also, I am in Honor research program. Also, I had an internship(partnership research assistant) in Korea for one month.
Teaching Experience: Currently a TA for intermediate Microeconomics
Research Interests: Econometrics and microeconomics.
SOP: discuss research experience and school work, why I am interested in school, etc
Concerns: Math.. and perhaps low GRE verbal?
Applying to: UBC, UoT, Queen's, UWO, LSE, Oxford, Cambridge, UCL, BGSE, CEMFI...
Do you think I would be automatically eliminated from the consideration due to my lack of math? or Should I still try applying for a very low chance? I really want to continue my study without a year gap because I am already two years behind from other students(due to army service).
Thank you so much! and I would appreciate your comments!
