这不好说,stat top 5应该没问题,但是math top 5难得多,清华也不是年年都能有。不过随着丘成桐的影响,今年申请是井喷了一下,刷了好几个harvard,,比之前n年加起来还多(按说往年,清华去top 10都不多),估计从今年开始,清华进harvard 要容易多了,但是其他几个top 5实在还是难说(我知道一个进了s的,但是他是有s内部的牛腿)。而且不知道lz的方向是什么,harvard math基本没有分析和概率,他们应该只招几何,袋鼠,拓扑方向的。
1 Qinghua Math Top2?... first heart,,, any way you are already too strong in your peers but not necessarily within econ aply group
感觉楼主没必要申请econ 申请mathematics or stat top five 随便申请 而且funding很好
就算基础数学 以后做做 bio stat or acturial sci 或者 financial math的话以后钱会很多 生活比tenure prof.还有保障
plus math is black and white.... econ is a chaos too many factors including verbal skills
2. 申请econ 的话其实前十有一定难度 you have entry level econ courses no recommendation to rely on and no research experience
most of your competitors are from Ivy or Liberal Arts College they can totally enter top school even no real analysis
Think about the accounting of ad com do they rely on your transcript or they rely on a strong recommendation from maybe journal editors?
Econ is Club, social network is important especially for top schools because they are in the center of the universe
3 if you insist,,,two ways,,,, try some moderate schools from 10-30 do some research carefully on their concentration.
take a master outside US. .........BGSE LSE CANADA]
