We evaluate applications based on undergraduate coursework in economics and mathematics, standardized test scores, and recommendation letters. In terms of coursework, past applicants who have been admitted and did well in the program typically had intermediate microeconomics, intermediate macroeconomics, probability and statistics, multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and real analysis. Applicants who fall short of completing these courses would still be considered.
The quantitative portion of the GRE or GMAT score is a good predictor of a student’s ability to survive the coursework in the first year of the Ph.D. program. While we do not have a minimum score for either test, most of our admitted students scored in the 90th percentile for the quantitative score and in the 70th percentile or above for the total score.
