APPA72

Multivariate calculus, linear algebra, optimisation with equalities / inequalities.. No proof-based stuff as the courses are prescribed; UK university courses don't have the flexibility that you have in the US. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Dammit. Ah well, I'll have a think. Thanks for all your help!

So all distinctions (that is As) in quant-heavy/maths classes; and distinction overall. Issue I think they'll have is that I've done a graduate conversion course (so a condensed Economics course) whilst working full time. Counteracting that, I do have 7 years of experience in Finance; and worked full time whilst working for the Economics grad diploma. So bit of an unusual application - it's just whether they appreciate the diversity, or not.

Thanks Robbentheking. Yeah I realise maths is a large component, I just thought it was interesting they appear not to even look at Verbal/Analytical scores. I'm 85th pc anyway in quants, so not terrible; just wondering if it's 'competitive enough' for the top US unis. Also, I'm from the UK so it's even more impenetrable; it's all new to me!

Hi there, I'm applying for an Economics Phd at a range of top US schools; I'm wondering if there is any point in applying to MIT with the GRE scores below: V: 166, Q: 163 A: 5 On a side point; all the Economics programs seem to only mention a focus on the quants score rather than verbal or analytical writing. Little odd for a social science, no?
