MA in economics question
MA in economics question?
Hello. i know i should be asking my councilor, but i want your take before i do so. anyway, I'm a 3. and a halfth year student graduating from the University of Toronto in a couple of months with a double major in history and political science and a minor in religious studies. With a CGPA of 3.4, I was wondering what my chances were of getting into an economics program for grad school, especially in the universities like NYU, McGill, UCLA or Chicago. I took economics in my first year, hated it and barely passed with a 55. However, after learning much politics I defintely had a change of mind. anyway, am I still eligible to apply despite my non mathematical background? if so, do i have to take extra courses (such as qualifying year ones). how long will these take? anything else i should know? a buddy of mines also suggested that i stay back a year or 2 two complete another major on economics, but i think thats a waste of time.

You are correct - it is a waste of time. Get a Masters instead. I believe you have an excellent chance of getting into a Masters economics program - but maybe not a prestigious one. But no great loss. Having conducted tons of job interviews I can assure you prestige is not all its cracked up to be. The reason is there is no way to compare degrees from prestigious schools to other schools. You may believe a degree from NYU is better than say a degree from a SUNY but how much better? Is is worth a grade point or what? Who can say. That being the case all schools with a reasonable reputation are treated the same. And remember your quals are only part of what determines who gets a job. It is also based on your application and job interview. The better applicants stand out regardless of where they studied. Thanks Bill

Nothing is going to hold you back from applying for a masters in economics. But a lot is going to hold you back from being accepted. If you want to pursue schools like Chicago,UCLA, and NYU, I'm positive your going to need a lot more math. I've heard that at Chicago, applicants without the necessary math background get tossed into the trash bin quicker than one can say "scarcity". If you barely passed intro economics, I sincerely hope you know what you're getting into when looking at some of those programs. Mathematics and Economics are becoming more synonymous as time goes by so if you're really serious about it, you have to be very good at math.

Would I be ok with a BA from Economics and an MA in Government from Yale
Would I be ok with a BA from Economics and an MA in Government from Yale?
I know its Yale but are the degrees (major) valuable? What could I do with these degrees?

Yes, Yale is traditionally strong in these areas. However, your MA would be in "Political Science" because Yale does not have a "Government" department. (It's just a different term. Harvard has a "Government" department, but not a "Political Science" department.) With these degrees, you could do a fairly wide variety of things: 1. consulting or i-banking, of course 2. work for a political think tank 3. go into politics 4. teach high school, or get a Ph.D. and then teach college 5. go to law school 6. go to business school 7. be a reporter or newspaper writer 8. other things too...
2
An undergraduate degree from Yale is enough to make it in life...but an MA allows you to do pretty much whatever the heck you want. (Although Harvard's Kennedy School is better).
3
There are many things you could pursue... YALE IS GREAT!
