What would you have done differently? I would have taken more math classes as an undergrad. I'm planning on going for a masters and picking up some missing math classes before applying to PhD programs.

Comments: This was my stretch school, so I'm not too shocked (and yes, I know everyone on this board is looking down on me for having Oregon as a stretch school). My lack of math background killed my application.

Will be attending Duke in the Fall!
What would you have done differently? Applied to AREC Masters programs at Ohio State and Purdue. Applied to Yale's School of the Environment. Overall, very happy with the Duke program and the other options that I had. If you are interested in both environmental economics and the policy side of things, then the Duke Nicholas School is the place for you because you can take economics classes as well as environmental classes. However, it is not a good prep for a PhD in economics, but is a good prep for a PhD in Public Policy or Environmental Policy.
