Hello,

I am a senior at Columbia University majoring in Econ with Stat minor.
I have been on the career path for wall street jobs til my third year and have changed my mind and decided to pursue grad school in Econ.
As I know that I have not prepared well for grad school at this point, I wanted to ask for your evaluation and guidance for future.
I am at this point not decided between applying for masters (in Econ/Stat/Applied Masters) and getting some kind of research job.
When I talked with my professor, he said I would have a chance of getting in LSE or Barcelona GSE.
Any advice would be very helpful.
