Wondering this same thing.

I'm about to begin my 5th year of undergrad. I did a quantitative economics degree (of which I've completed all the classes), and I'm beginning on a math minor. Right now, I only have Calc I under my belt. My GPA is a 3.3 (3.2, 3.0, 3.5, 3.5 respective to years), and I've had a mix of As and Bs in econ, with As in the quantitative courses. I have an internship doing regression analysis right now (if that counts for anything).

I got a 780 on the quantitative section of the GRE.

My problem is that a) the most applicable math classes are going to be in the Spring of 2009 (probability, PDE) and b) I can get letters of recommendation from my econ profs. that taught me econometrics but I wouldn't be able to get any from math professors.

Should I try to apply this Fall, or take the math classes and wait a year and apply next Fall? Or should I do a mix of both?

Thank you very much in advance for advice!
