Hi everyone Does anyone know if unofficial GRE scores viewed at the end of the exam is different from what is finally reported to us in our accounts 2 weeks later?. I understand this was a bit of an issue in 2012 when there was the awkward shift from the old to the new gre format, but I have no idea since then. Any thoughts would be appreciated (apologies for a very paranoid question :P)

Hi Malthusian I think I would move out of DC (way too expensive). I'm glad the general consensus is that the work exp will help. My main concern is that my undergrad isnt the econ/math track which most graduates appear to have. Most of the calc/algebra/stat/econometrics I did were during my master's , both at JHU and back home, but I wonder because of the relatively less math intensive undergrad should I look mostly at mid-tier schools? Thanks

Thanks a lot. So I did a good bit of math during both my masters. Not a lot in my undergrad - which is basically my main concern. Will be sitting for the GRE later this year. Thanks a lot for the suggestions - I will definitely apply to a wide range of schools.

Hi I live in DC currently working as an RA at the IMF. Hoping to apply for phd econ next fall. Im not sure what type of schools to apply to in order to give myself a realistic chance. I have 92 percentile GRE quant and am considering retaking it. I have one master's in econ from johns hopkins (3.78 gpa) and another from my home country. My undergrad was in business so Im not the conventional econ/math applicant so I definitely dont expect to get into a top 15 ranked school. Any advice what sort of schools I should look into ? Thanks. SMH
