What are the prerequisites for applicants?
We expect strong GRE scores and some knowledge of economics — enough so that you can write a coherent statement of why you want to study in the program, and what you hope to gain from it. Beyond that, you should have several semesters of university level mathematics, and, ideally, probability and statistics. Your statement of purpose, grades in core economics, math, and other quantitative courses, and recommendation letters are the most important determinants of admission.
