Here it goes... Posted same thing on different forum... I'm just interested in getting as much info as possible/get a better understanding as to my positioning for grad school... Thanks!

Undergraduate:Top 10 Liberal Arts College in U.S; Double majoring in Economics and Math.; Spent junior year at LSE

GPA: 3.9/4.0

Math Courses: Topics in Single Variable Calculus (A), Linear Algebra (A), Multivariate Calculus (A), Discrete Mathematics (A), AT LSE: Real Analysis (A), Differential Equations (A-), CURRENTLY IN: Topology, Probability Models, WILL TAKE: Mathematical Statistics, Modern Algebra

Econ Courses: Introduction to Macroeconomics (A), Introduction to Microeconomics (A), Macroeconomic Theory (A-), Probability and Statistics (A-), Microeconomics Theory (A), International Finance (A), Econometrics (B+), AT LSE: Principles of Econometrics (A), Principles of Microeconomics (B+), Principles of Finance (A), CURRENTLY IN: Industrial Organization, WILL TAKE: Advanced Macroeconomics

Research Experience: Term papers in International Finance and Industrial Organization; Senior thesis (in progress): "Measuring Hedge Fund Portfolio Weightings by State-Space Models with Kalman Filtering"

Teaching: TA for intro macro and intermediate micro

Publications: None... Except (weirdly) I have published in literary journals (does that show I can write decently???)

Research Interests: Theoretical (proofs 'n' stuff) econometrics, macro-finance

Letters of Rec: Should all be good

Concerns: No Grad courses, limited research in that my thesis is not going to be done by application time (clearly)

I'm interested in pretty much the top 12, and I'm applying to master's as backups... I'm thinking if I don't get into top 12, I'd rather do the masters and try again... Thoughts??? I really appreciate it!!!! I've been reading these posts a lot, but this is my first post...

I think you're profile is definitely unique and overall pretty well-rounded. You've got great in-field experience and it sounds like you did some solid years of Research.
