Hi, Can I ask about my graduate school prospects? I'm technically not an econ major so I'm a little concerned. I go to a Canadian school (one okay for econ, think U of T/UBC/Queen's) I'm a Business (Honours) and Math double degree student, GPA around 3.9 total and 3.95-ish for math and econ courses. Unfortunately, I have an A- in Probability I (which is the standard Calc III-requiring Probability course) and A- in Rudin real analysis. I've gotten A+ in the introductory and intermediate micro-macro sequence. Will be taking advanced of both next semester, as well as applied econometrics (I've taken an introductory econometrics course with A+). Other math include Calc I-III (AP credits for I, II, A+ in III), Linalg (A+), Differential Equations (A+), Stochastic Processes A), Game Theory (A+, under math faculty at my school), and I will be taking Probability II next semester. A+ in business statistics which is the standard undergraduate post-Calc I/II stats course. I also have a number of finance courses all with A+s, but I'm not sure how relevant that is. I also have As and A+s in a number of operations research courses. I have regrettably two B+s in mandatory business courses ('business management' and 'marketing ii'), although these have no bearing on my economics/math focus. Internships: 1 sell-side at a big 5 Canadian bank, 1 at a major management consultancy with a decently strong economics focus. ECs: Co-chair of largest economics-oriented club on campus, writer for politics magazine, chess club. A few academic awards, mostly for high class percentile (i.e highest honors). GRE: Q 170, V 160, W 4.5 Would I have a reasonable shot at getting into an MSc economics program at LSE, for instance? I'm not aiming directly for a PhD because I would like to take more courses in economics firstly, and second because I want to continue in the working world for a little while. If I were accepted I would likely defer a year.
