Hi!
I graduated with an Integrated masters in engineering 6 months ago from one of the top schools in India and currently work with a bulge bracket investment bank as an analyst. As an engineering grad, this is my first exposure to banking/economics. Of late, I've developed a lot of interest in economics in general and would like to pursue a graduate course in econometrics, in particular. The program at LSE seems interesting. Few questions:
Is a bachelors in economics essential? Apart from LSE, what other schools globally are reputed for this field? And given my profile, what are the chances of getting in (assuming I apply for Spring 2014 - too late? LSE seems to follow the rolling admissions procedure)
Relevant details:
GPA: 3.50/4.00. Yet to take the GRE, I've done quite a few courses in math at uni (including multi-dimensional calculus, advanced probability and statistics, stochastic process, linear algebra, complex analysis)
Any advice in this regard is highly appreciated!!!
Cheers!
