Hello folks I am new here and I am trying to find help about my Phd applications, because I know very little about these and I am really confused.Any guiding will be valuable for me, so regarding to my profile here I am expecting your suggestions:
Major:Mathematics,
School:Top Turkish school
Applying to:Economics Phd in USA
CGPA:3.65
Major(Math) GPA:3.88
TOEFL:103
GRE Verbal:154 percentile:64
Gre quant:166 percentile 94
Analytical Writing:3.0 percentile 11(I did not know this was important)
References:A good Math professor, an unknown Econ Phd instructor, another good Math professor, none of them well-known.
My math grades are all good (for example Real Analysis A+),but I just have Microeconomic Theory1-2(A,A-) and Game theory as economics courses.
Which range do you think I should apply to, top 20-30? top10-20, top 40-50?, I do not have an idea, although I know I will not be accepted to Harvard, MIT or Stanford.I need to know this because I am in short of money and I can apply at most 10 or so schools.
Thanks a lot for attention.
