  1. Hey guys I need help! I got into 6/10 of programs I applied to for a Masters in Economics and these are my top choices * Tufts - 65% Tuition Waiver and RA/Grader position - My Expense $13,000 Tuition + Fees * UBC - Partial Tuition Scholarship - My Expense $4,189.30 Tuition + Fees * McGill - $13,443.90 Tuition + Fees I'm looking to graduate in one year and get a job in Economic Consulting/Economic Analyst at a think-tank. What would be my best choice? I have heard the Econ department at McGill is not strong but it has a good reputation worldwide, whereas UBC has a very strong Econ department but is less well known. I'm currently in NY so Tufts would be the most convenient for me, but I'm also an international student and I'm not sure I want to go through the whole H1/green card process. $$ is also an issue which is making me lean towards UBC. Any thoughts?
  2. Hey anyone who got in care to share their stats or tell me if I have a chance to get into UBC MA Econ UGrad in USA - BSc Mechanical Engineering Ivy League 3.3/4.0 GPA GRE - 800 V, 720 Q, 4.5 AW Econ/Finance Prep - Intermediate Macro/Micro, Corporate Finance, Financial Accounting 'A' in all four classes. Also took two Development Economics classes while studying abroad in England for which I didn't get assigned grades. Math Prep - My math grades are not quite stellar with a C in Linear Algebra. I was having a bad semester. Is it worth taking some math courses at a local university to remedy this, as I know Canadian admission is based solely on grades.
  3. Hi, I know this is rather early...but I'm trying to figure out what my chances are of getting into MA Econ programs in Canada for Fall 2010...The programs in Canada I'm looking into are UBC - MA Econ U of T - MA Econ McGill - MA Econ - Social Statistics/Development Studies (possibly one of these two options or just a straight MA Econ) UGrad in USA - BSc Mechanical Engineering Ivy League 3.3/4.0 GPA GRE - 800 V, 720 Q, 4.5 AW Econ/Finance Prep - Intermediate Macro/Micro, Corporate Finance, Financial Accounting 'A' in all four classes. Also took two Development Economics classes while studying abroad in England for which I didn't get assigned grades. Math Prep - My math grades are not quite stellar with a C in Linear Algebra. I was having a bad semester. Is it worth taking some math courses at a local university to remedy this, as I know Canadian admission is based solely on grades. If anyone who got admitted to these programs could tell me what my chances of getting into these schools are, and any other advice on how to improve on my application I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
