<p>I'm currently about to enter my final year studying Maths and Econ at LSE (UK uni)</p>

<p>I'm very interested in applying for a Econ PHd in a US grad school. However, my degree isn't a double major like the US, instead its a degree which is split 50/50 Maths and Econ which means i will have done less econ modules than if i were studying in an Econ programme.</p>

<p>Will this hinder my chances to getting into a good Econ grad programme in the US?</p>

<p>I cannot speak with authority on this, but I should think not. What the grad schools probably will want to see is strong math skills because a lot of PhD programs are quantitative-heavy. They may even welcome an outside voice into the thinking about the subject, one not already indoctrinated in the American way.</p>
