<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p>I'm an upcoming junior that is looking into financial economics PhD programs (I'll be applying in a little over a year). I'm having trouble deciding what additional classes/research projects/experiences would increase my chances of getting into a top 20 program. So far I have taken these courses:</p>
<p>Math: Calculus I, II, III; Mathematical Reasoning and Proof, Diff Eq., Linear Algebra, Complex Variables, Probability, Mathematical Statistics, Advanced Calculus, and Abstract Algebra</p>
<p>Finance/Accounting: Principles of Finance, Personal Finance, Financial Management, Investment Fundamentals, Principles of Accounting I & II</p>
<p>Economics: Principles Micro/Macro, Research Methods, Intermediate Micro/Macro, Money & Banking, International, Environmental</p>
<p>Research Projects: Mathematical Economics (Game Theory), Finance (CAPM)</p>
<p>Internship: Courthouse (researched the likelihood of repeat offenders) </p>
<p>I have two or three free slots open for courses by the time I graduate, not including the summer. During this time I will be taking three statistics courses. Should I focus on more accounting/finance courses, economics courses, or math? Or should I focus on doing more research/internships?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
