socks1367 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) Certainly not with those GRE scores. You want Q scores well north of 160. If you look at GRE stats, only 8% of the 14,735 students who took the GRE intending to apply for Econ programs in 2013-2016 did worse than 150 in quant. The majority were over 160.

Anthony2016 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 is 161 good enough for 150-200 ranked school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this needs to be coupled with completion of necessary prerequisite courses in maths, econ and stats and good letters of recommendation.

I have Bachelors GPA 3.96 and MPhil score of 64.3 and have most of the pre-reqs. Fingers crossed. Thank you for replying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
