LOR: I have 2 economics professors, one from my Math Economics class and the other from my Graduate Econometrics class(both A's), who really like me and have encouraged me to go to graduate school. My 3rd letter is from my Advanced Analysis professor (A) who was happy to write it.

I feel like I have a mixed application of very goods and very bads. Undergrad started off very poorly, but I have made substantial progress over the last several years. If this was your resume where would you all apply? I was thinking about getting a masters from an English program before going on to the PhD because of my inconsistent record. Can I get into a strong masters program?
