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.

is 161 good enough for 150-200 ranked school?

I think it is enough to make the cut. But this needs to be coupled with completion of necessary prerequisite courses in maths, econ and stats and good letters of recommendation.

I do hope so. 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.
