Hi everyone.

I'm considering going to grad school for either economics or math. When researching economics grad schools online (at the big ivy leagues) I find pertinent information about what they look for on your transcript, specifically what classes to take as an undergraduate, etc. I find none of this type of information on websites for math graduate school. I was wondering if anyone could direct me towards information on this. Thank you.
