I am a junior poli sci and econ double major and I want to go to graduate school for formal methods in political science. Unfortunately I have all Cs in my math courses (Calc1-3, lin algebra, real analysis, and stats) and believe this is probably crushing my chances at going to a top school. I'll be doing game theory research this summer, taking a grad course in quant int'l relations in the fall, and hopefully study my ass off and do well at the quant part of the GRE. I think I underperformed in the math classes and would be able to do the math associated with formal government theory. Is there any other way I can demonstrate this to adcomms? Would it be worth retaking previous math classes or taking new ones if I do well?
Also what schools which are quant heavy would I have decent chance of getting into?
cGPA: 3.2
Major GPAs: 3.9 and 4.0
Should have 2 strong letters of rec so far and hopefully a 3rd after this semester.
TAd an upper level game theory class
Doing own game theory research this summer with an advisor
Well that was a lot, but I'm extremely interested in studying this field so any advice would be great, thanks!
