I’m not sure what kind of information it is that you’re looking for. There are many, many applied math MA programs - at regional public comprehensives, at top research universities, at small colleges. How difficult it will be for you to get into any single one will depend on the competitiveness of that particular program. Things will be different at Columbia or Berkeley than they are at Hunter College or University of Dayton.

A 3.3, however, is not “rather low.” It’s a respectable above-average level GPA, and shouldn’t give you significant trouble gaining admission to all but the very most competitive master’s programs - especially with several years of work experience. More important will be your motivations for applying to the program and the kind of work experience you have.

Also, given that you are coming from an economics undergrad, make sure you have the prereqs. Most applied math MAs require, at minimum, 3 semesters of calculus and a semester of linear algebra. More math-y programs may require more.
