Colleges & Universities University of California - Berkeley

<p>Hey I’m interested in pursuing a graduate degree in economics, and would like to get some advise from anyone who is/has gone down this path. I’m a current junior, who has taken 101 series, stat 134, and math 53 & 54. </p>

<ol>
<li><p>Are there any professors you know who are particularly good to have as a advisor for thesis, or is a good person to possibly RA for? </p></li>
<li><p>Can anyone describe what happens in Econ H195A and H195B? Like what the process of thinking of the thesis idea, how the advising is, timeline etc. </p></li>
<li><p>How should I prep for a senior thesis and grad school in terms of courses? I’m planning on taking Econ 104, 141, 182. For math I plan on taking 55, 110, 113, 128, 104.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Btw I will of course be asking the econ undergrad advisor for some advice too, but would love to get any extra from past/current students!</p>
