<p>Thank you all by now.As you see i'm confused ..</p>

<p>There any helper?</p>

<p>I would guess that most of us are not familiar with the particular Turkish universities you mention, so we cannot offer advice. In general, you should try to get top grades, and then take it from there. When you get closer to applying to graduate schools, you should talk to your professors for advice. </p>

<p>If you want to know the admissions standards for those graduate programs, go to their websites to see what they require, with the understanding that that preferred grades and test scores are usually minimums.</p>

<p>So can you reply these? They’re general problems at all.

<p>To be competitive for the top econ programs in the US, you will want lots of math (preferably a full math major), some research experience (or extensive course/thesis projects) and glowing letters of recommendation from three professors who know you well. </p>

<p>

One that occasionally sends students to the programs you would like to attend. You’ll be fighting an uphill battle if the admissions committee is unfamiliar with your university.</p>

<p>I think most people who are powerful on Wall Street have MBAs, not degrees in economics. Economics and business are related, but not quite the same thing at all.</p>

<p>If you wanted an economics degree, you’d have to have a strong math background in addition to a strong econ background - a double-major or a minor in math would be ideal, with higher level quantitative skills. You’d also need to get some research experience in economics with an economics professor, although that’s less important at the MA level. If you are aiming for a PhD program a 1200+ is ideal; if you’re aiming for an MA program, 1000+ should be sufficient for most places.</p>

<p>If you want an MBA, you can major in pretty much anything. What MBA programs look for more are your experiences in business. Most programs require you to work for a few years (usually at least 2-5) before you can attend. They want to see upward mobility very quickly. Internship programs during college are also important because if nothing else, they will help you get the job you’ll need to get into an MBA program. Studying abroad is also good; in addition to possibly learning another language, you can prove you can work in our global economy.</p>

<p>Foreign languages are always welcome in business. A big one now is Mandarin Chinese, with China booming as a business partner. But Japanese, German, and Korean are also helpful in business; it also depends on what sector you want to work in. However, you could learn pretty much anything and have it be an asset, although less-commonly learned languages are going to be more in demand. It’s pretty easy to find Spanish, French, and German speakers in the U.S. (less so German), but not so much Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Russian, Urdu, and Farsi.</p>
