Hi all,
GPA: ~3.5 at a top liberal arts college (deflates grades, ~3.1 average for the past 30 years)
Major: Math/Econ
Courses: adv metrics/macro/micro (A,A,B+), math up to Real analysis and prob theory/math stats (A's and a couple B's), Quantitative Methods on Social Science (Poli Sci course), Intro to IR
Research: RA's for an econ prof (rec will be beautiful), senior thesis in econ (another great rec), micro/game theory prof (got B's in both classes but had a good impression on em, should be "fine")
GRE: 168 Q/161 V
I'm interested in formal theory, quant methods and applying it to political economics ,voting behavior.
I will be applying to NYU, Stanford, URochester, Berkeley, Chicago, and a range of lower ranked programs. How bad will having little xp in poli sci and all econ recs hurt me? Do you think I have a chance at these schools?
