Hi CC,

I am an economics major and math minor at UConn, seeking for advice about how to prepare for an economics masters program.

What I know:
The more math, the better. I more mathematics economics courses, the better. The more research, the better.

What I don’t know:
Up to how much math courses will be fine, and still keep me relatively competitive. Are internships really necessary for those interested in economics graduate school - is it needed?

Here are the econ & math courses I am taking and planning on taking (which I think are important):

Mathematical Economics
Emprical Methods in EconomicsI/Economietrics
Calc 1
Calc 2
Linear Alg
Multiv
Diff Eq
(I don’t have time for Analysis, unfortunately)

Any advice or previous experience would be much appreciated!
