kka34, Many thanks! I have to admit that you are right in saying tests are easy to study for. Since both of you suggest so, I think I should be trying to take courses. However the time must have passed for me to begin a minor. I'll see if I can still do it. If I can't then maybe an after degree program like ktel advised would be the optimal now, perhaps a diploma. Any recommends?

ktel, Thank you for your advice. I took an elementary microeconomics course last semester but it was offered to undergraduate student in general (rather than to economics majors). This probably won't help, I guess. Do you think a 85-90% sub score would win me some advantage, if I could get it? Thx again.

Hi all, I'm a senior student in philosophy and I'm trying to switch to mathematics/economics for graduate study. I made this decision for complicated reasons that I'm afraid are irrelevant here. But since it is a bold move, I'd love to hear opinions from anyone on the forum. My GPA is approximately 3.2/4.0 if my calculator is correct. My dissertation was evaluated as distinctive on the department level. The idea of switching track came so late that I've hardly prepared much for it. GRE general: 98% below in Verbal, 96% below in Quantitative and 87% below in Analytical Writing. GRE sub in math: 69% below. About to start an intern ship at a research institute and brain bank in 2 weeks. I've done no research in math/econ so it's quite a headache how I'm gonna show I can do research to grad schools. Recommendation letters are another headache. I don't know any professors from the two disciplines from my university. A few more words for the GRE sub. I know it's not really good, but I learned almost everything in only three months and all by myself. Waiting for opinions. Alex Cheung
