Hi everyone,
I currently work a job doing econometrics, cleaning data and tuning OLS and probit models. I'm interested in applying to a poli sci PhD to start in Fall 2023 an am hoping to get into a strong quant program. That said, will only having taken calculus 1 be seen as a weakness, or will my other coursework make up for it? I am wondering whether taking calc 2 at a community college would be a good use of time on top of studying for the GRE and prepping other app materials. Also, are there programs that lean more towards quantitative research, or it more of an advisor by advisor basis?
My background:
Graduated from a large public university in Spring 2021: econ/poli sci double major, 3.92
TA'd and RA'd for different poli sci professors
Wrote a poli sci thesis that definitely skewed quantitative, but still included a lit review
Courses:
3 econometrics (1 grad level, A-, A, A)
3 poli sci data analysis in R (A's)
2 stats (A's)
calc 1 (A-)
Any advice would be appreciated!
