U have much more choicr in UK if u are willing to do a pre master,  which they call it postgradu ...

just fyi LSE cares a lot in "brands" of chinese university. Given she's from 211 not 985 (and so do I) and her GPA is not above 90+ on average, I highly doubt LSE  2 yr master would be a safe choice.

do agree.......

indeed when I name LSE, what I want to mean is just an example as a example of diploma for economics in UK (Cambridge also have it, of course it is nothing easier...). OP may have to go down the ranking at the end.

however I don't think s/he know nothing about how economic studies work. The reason is, she mentioned that she got full score in game, and in US. Notice that if the school which she took the course is good, the game course should be quite hard. For example, UMinn-Twin and UWisc-Mad use Osbourne and Rubinstein as their undergrad game text. You know that O&R game's not easy.

maybe my word is a bit too strong / extreme........but I will still doubt: is one advanced course enough to have an good idea how things work?
Do agree that game theory is a useful solid course, but:
1. it is quite a theoretical and mathematical one. It does provide a bit insight for some certain field in economics like micro, but for sure it is still far from a whole picture.
2. in terms of mathematical preparation, game theory is useful also, but again, a adequate mathematical background required for graduate study is way more than that.

make it short, one is way better than none, but still far away from enough.

Yep, I strongly agree that this is a substantial deficiency, especially on rigorous programs. However, why not try?

rubinstein undergrad game course...yep i'm totally a 350-450 tier student.

Then I am, definitely unquestionable, 900-1000 tier student, if there are so many Econ Ph.D. Programs among the States XD.

Do agree that it worth a try.  
What i mean is only:  given so many uncertainty,  OP need a plan B (working afterwards)  for sure,  i.e. should go to some school with reputation outside academics also,  and keep away from school like TSE CEMFI and etc...
