Hi, Thanks for offering to help us potential students and applicants. I wanted to ask you how math-intensive the econ courses at SAIS are. I've taken 3 econ classes as an undergrad: "Principles of Economics" (Macro/Micro combined), International Economics (all theory), and Economic Development (also all theory). I was able to pull off an A in all three courses, but they had VERY little math in them and I struggled quite a bit with the little math that did appear in the principles class. I never made it past algebra II in high school and have not taken math in college. You seem pretty enthusiastic about the SAIS quantitative component, but do you know of other students who struggle with mathematics and how they were able to handle SAIS's econ concentration? Thanks again!
