Hello guys, I am an economics graduate from India. I did my UG and PG at not so reputed universities (Madras Christian College and Central University of Kerala respectively). The two courses weren't quant heavy. I have no publications. I wish to apply for Ph.D. programs in the USA. What are my chances of getting admitted at least to the lowest tier universities? Please help. I could save a lot of money on the application fee. GRE Quant: 160, Verbal: 161
