Please evaluate my profile for Econ PhD

[hlee]

Hi, 

This will be my second time applying to Economics PhD programs.

My first try was after I graduated from the first Masters' program. (I applied to top 15 schools only.)

I would really appreciate if you can go over my profile and see if top 40 is good target for me?

Thank you!
