    Hi Eugenie, thank you for sharing your experiences! I am currently a CS undergrad considering applying straight to a phd program, and your advice definitely inspires me to do the same thing. I look forward to seeing you continuing doing amazing works!

    You are too precious! I am finishing my BS in CS and I am looking at grad school for next year. I finally found what makes me happy in regards to research. Finally… FINALLY… I know what to write on my SOP. Hallelujah 🙌

    Thanks for sharing. I hope I could have know and plan as you did when I applied, I realize why it was hard for me to get in even one program though I was lucky. Didn’t get in eecs but now a course 1 phd, maybe can meet you one day.
    Ps the sop link is super helpful

    Hi Eugene,
    While applying, did you have any publications? I have no publication but a submitted paper under review, 3 solid LORs and above average academic record. But I am concerned about having no publication.

      Thank you so much for your reply. But also I want to ask about the reference letters for many universities' applications. For example, suppose I ask a professor to give me a reference letter for a university. In that case, I don't know if I can use that same reference for another university since the reference letters are specifically addressed to each university. How do you manage with the reference letters to apply to many universities?

  • @wiliam7670

    Hi Eugenie, I am also in UBC and in a similar boat (undergrad eyeing a PHD economics). Do you recommend getting into graduate courses? I know they restrict those courses if your not a graduate student.
    Also, I noticed you have never taken higher level math courses, more specifically math 320. Did that ever come up in your interviews for PHD? Any thoughts on it?

    • @beingeugenie
      @beingeugenie  Před rokem

      Hi William! Great point! I think it depends on the field. In my field (i.e., CS systems), most of us don't usually use higher level math at work. That's why I didn't take 300+ level math. But from my impression, econ research can be heavy on math and stats. Have you talked to some professors about this?

    • @wiliam7670
      @wiliam7670 Před rokem

      @@beingeugenie I have and they did recommend higher math. But of course at the end of the day, research experience is probably more important.
      Anyways, Thank you for the inspiring videos. It motivated me to apply to a similar mentorship program for PHD Economics by MIT/Harvard. I am not sure what exactly they are looking for but hopefully they accept me.
      looking forward to more of your videos!

    I recently emailed a professor and I have gotten no replies and it has demotivated me a tiny bit. I think I'm gonna use this to make myself better and try again with a different professor because I don't wanna give up
    Wish me luck!
