So I guess you must have strong background in math.Or your major is math but not econ?
I am so sorry that I can't type in Chinese as I am at department
Yes I took a bit more math (3 analysis, 2 advanced algebra, 1 probability theory, not measure theory based, and functional analysis), but did not manage to perform well in all of them (got 4 courses below 85). But I still got the offer and doing fine in the program.
Everyone in 1yr program is from econ background. People without econ degree should consider applying to 2yr program which is very solid as well.
yep. Since you have stated that you took real analysis before so I assume you won't have any problem in dealing with convergence in measure or convergence in law, etc.
1yr would be hard for you since you did not complete any of micro, macro or metrics at intermediate level but I do recommend you to take 2 yr course, as you'll get more exposure to proper econ and thus (dis)confirm your interests in pursuing a Ph.D.
