Acceptances:
gatorgrrl 2010:
Undergrad: Economics, large public university (I dare you to guess which one)
Undergrad GPA: 3.94/4.0, cum laude
GRE: 760Q/640A/4.5
Math Courses: Calc I-III, Stat I-II, Linear Algebra, Diff Eq (most taken at community college post-undergrad)
Econ Courses: Standard lot (but no econometrics)
Grad courses: Currently enrolled in PhD level Econometrics
Letters of Recommendation: 1 from my work supervisor, 1 from UG professor (who probably does not remember me), 1 co-authored by 2 of my math professors at the CC. An interesting bunch of letters...
Research Experience: none!
Teaching Experience: nope (unless ESL counts...)
Research Interests: development, applied micro, public, labor
Statement of Purpose: standard
Other: a few years of work experience as an Economist for the Dept of Labor
Concerns: After lurking around this forum for several months before the application season, I decided my profile was probably not strong enough to secure a good spot at a good uni with funding, so I decided to apply for MA programs instead, with the intention of applying to PhD programs upon completion of the MA. I'm also keeping the option open of staying at work for another year, and applying for PhD programs next year with some extra money in the bank, and a PhD level Econometrics class under my belt.
