I'm a political economy major, so my math is a bit weaker than most, but I'm wondering if I can make up for it by being "more well-rounded", as I am a strong writer, and can bring in a different perspective. I can do a solid amount of stuff in excel.

 

I'm applying to be a developmental economics phd candidate. Any advice or anything is appreciated!
