That’s interesting, WOWM.

I can add that in economics (where my family has been through this), the competition is extremely tight for the limited number of places at the top 14 ranked PhD programs. Because econ directly connects to $$$ - including for academics, which is relatively unusual - and it is largely quantitative these days, the programs attract a high degree of international competition. To get into one, it really helps to have big time work/research experience and you need to do extremely well in both econ and math.
