Hi all, I am a B. Tech. from Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur in Materials and Metallurgical Engineering. I passed out in May 2008 and my CGPA was 8.0/10. I have experience as an interest rate derivatives trader for an year. I have been involved in my family business since past 2 years. I am also one of the founding members of a management consulting firm in India. I have passed CFA level 1. As a research project in economics I have done research on Indian and Chinese patents. Apart from regular Math courses I have done few Mathematics courses as electives during my engineering (e.g., Mathematical Methods, Graph Theory etc.). I don't have any formal training in economics but I often read economic articles in newspapers and magazines. I want to do MS + PhD in Economics from an Ivy League. I am preparing for GRE and will appear in April for the exam. I need some guidance regarding the same. I mean the GRE score required to pursue my interest, the universities I can target to and whether I can get scholarship or not. Kindly guide me if my profile fits for being an economist or I need to do some more (any certification course or something else) to reflect my interest in economics. Thanks
