Hey guys,

I'm thinking about applying for PhD programs in applied math, with the goal of eventually working for a development bank or agency. My background is in economics (details below) - are there any programs worth looking at that incorporate econometrics? Right now, my top choice is UT-Austin's ICES program, since it's in-state and they have a track for students without an engineering or pure math background.

Background:

GRE: 1430 (800 M/630 V), taken in 2009

Undergrad: University of Houston, B.S. Economics and Political Science, 3.3 GPA

Math classes taken: Calc I, II, III

Grad school: Texas A&M, Master of International Affairs, 3.6 GPA

Concentrations in International Economics, Economic Development, Multinational Enterprises

Math classes taken: Statistics, Econometrics, Impact Evaluation, Trade Policy (Stata-heavy)

Two years work experience, but in a completely unrelated field.

Thanks!
