Hi! I’m about to take this two-year MPA at London School of Economics:

www.lse.ac.uk/collections/government/MPA/

After graduating, do you think I have any chance at all for admission at top Econ PhD programs in the US?

The courses of the first year of my MPA is completely compulsory, and although some of them are math based, they’re not insanely complex. (this must be bad news for me).

On the other hand, ff I use my second year exclusively at rigor courses in math, economics and statistics and if I do perfect, maybe I can sharpen my profile.

Do I have a chance? Please be honest :-)
