If u r applying to a good B-School for MS in economics, u shud have graduated with a degree having courses in economics, maths & stats etc (Which u have). Then u shud have good grades(Show them that u have!).. U can do this by showing that u were in top 5-10% of ur class. Try getting good recos... Good GRE/GMAT score..

Hmm...this would be dependent to a large extent on which universities you are apping to. In most cases, if the univs you are apping to have received applications from ppl who studied at the same college you did, they would have a better idea about the scoring patterns...

A low scoring record can be counteracted in two ways:

a) if your insti has a system of rank cards, this would go a long way to show the unis that your performance was good in relative terms.
b) a good GRE score. This I believe would be the most important if you have bad acads...again, this depends on how much weightage the insti gives the GRE...

All the best :).
