  1. By 'top tier Econ School' do you mean that you intend to get a PhD in economics? If so, while your undergrad requires only calculus, you should take several additional classes. I think that at minimum you need at least Calc 1-3 and Linear Algebra. To get into a top program you also probably need Real Analysis (most would say you definitely need it). I have a friend who took most of his math at community colleges and then is taking Real Analysis at his university. If he gets an A, he figures it'll legitimize his other classes. I think that's a bit of a risk, but some combination of community college and university classes would probably be ok. I wouldn't take all my math at a community college. That being said, it sounds like you're just talking about taking math classes at other universities. I think that should be fine. But again, you're going to need more math to get into top (PhD) programs.
  2. On my CV, I would like to include several "publications", some of which are peer-reviewed and some of which are not. Essentially, I have 4 papers that various organizations I have worked for have posted, one that appeared in a magazine, and one that appeared in a peer-reviewed journal. If I were to list the publications in order of importance, I would put the peer-reviewed paper first, then the magazine, then the other 4. But is that confusing? Is it better to have them in order of date? I would create a separate section for publications and reports, but I think my single publication will look lonely under its own heading. Any thoughts would be appreciated!
