Recommended Posts

Going into my 5th year of Honours Economics, with a minor in Maths. Planning to apply for MA in Economics at UofT, Western, McMaster, Laurier and McGill.

First and second year GPAs aren't the best:
A in intro and intermediate Micro, B in intro and intermediate Macro
C in Calc 1, F in Calc 2( but retook and upgraded it to a C-), C in Lin alg 1, D in lin alg 2. 

Grades got gradually better in upper years, and took more advanced Econ and Math courses: 
A in Advanced Micro Theory 1, 2 and all other 3rd and 4th year Econ courses(Research methods, Intl trade, Monetary)
B+ in Econometrics 1 and 2
C+ in Calc 3
A in Calc 4. 

Professional experiences:
Worked as a Research Assistant this summer with a Professor in the faculty of Economics.
Had 2 summer internships as a financial analyst for a tech firm in Toronto. 

Extracurriculars:
Research analyst for a student - run investment club in the university.
Representative with the Economics society. 
 
What are my chances of getting into these schools, given my improvement in the final 2 years?
