Hi,

I'm applying to a bunch of PhDs in the states.

I did a three year program at Bocconi university focused exclusively on
International economics and management, and graduated with 10seven\110
(seven key on my laptop not working for some reason).

I'm taking the GREs on thursday, and have scored SevenSeventy on one
test run and 800 on another for the quantitative and SevenTen and
SevenForty in the other.

I don't have any summer research programs etc, but I think I can get
some pretty good reccomendation letters from my economics professors (
I'm planning to have two economics profs and one law or other subject
per university).

I'd be interested in knowing what my chances of entering were.
I'm planning to apply at the following Unis:

Berkeley
San Diego
Wisconsin
Boston College
Rochester
Michigan State

I might have problems finding 18 reccomendation letters (not to mention
paying $600 dollars in application fees..) so I'd like to drop one or
two schools.
Anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks a bunch.

If your GREs match your practice scores, you are a very good candidate
at any of those places. (Assuming you've had a reasonable amount of
math.)

You don't need 18 letters. You just need three letters. The professors
can send the same letter to all six places.

In 1981 the %iles for the GRE were double/half the SAT.

If you got 780 you have a free ticket to ride.
