<p>I know that it is very valuable to take a graduate level class in the subject while in undergrad to look good for applications and to show that you can handle the material. However, it looks like I will not be able to fulfill all of the math prereqs till my senior year to take graduate level economics classes at my school, and will not be able to take PhD level econ classes. However, I can take a year of Master's level math (advanced calculus/analysis) and a PhD. class or two in stochasic modeling. Would this be seen as almost as good?</p>
<p>Since when is Advanced Calculus a Master's level math class? Or Analysis? </p>
<p>Those classes are part of Undergrad pure math majors.</p>
<p>Just saying.</p>
<p>Anyways, im a pure math major myself and in my opinion, if you take either Analysis or Advanced Calculus, it will be a very impressive addition to your resume. Do it.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>I think doing well in those types of upper level math courses might even be better than taking graduate level econ classes.</p>
<p>I can take two tracks of advanced calculus/analysis. One is the undergraduate level and the other is the master's level (300 vs 500 level course). If it looks like I won't be able to fit in graduate level economics courses (and it is not if I do a semester abroad) I can suck it up and take the master's level math classes instead.</p>
<p>bump . .</p>
<p>Do the math courses. That will look more impressive to adcoms than graduate level econ courses. The more math the better.</p>
