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 🙌
Hi Eugenie. I relate with you so much. Hopefully i get masters and then start pursue PHD too. Keep posting about your experience and interests . All The BEST!!!!!!
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 Eugine, for your wonderful video. I have a little question, were your letters of recommendation only from academics and researchers? or were some of them from people outside academia (like jobs)?
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?
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?
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?
@@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!
Thank you so much for making this! 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!

Eugenie - Great video. Can you also share your research experience and what is the process? And is a Master's Thesis/PHD research difficult
So nice, very cool

Thank you 😊
Thank you.
It's a wonderful video and it will be better if you answer the questions on the comments
you are so wholesome
Please share some cold emailing tips
It's been a year since you posted this video. You look sad here. I hope you're feeling better now. Wish you all the best.
What was ur gpa to apply into grad school?
Thank you Eugine, for your wonderful video. I have a little question, were your letters of recommendation only from academics and researchers? or were some of them from people outside academia (like jobs)?
Do you need to pay for a PhD in USA? Here in Belgium, you get paid to do it
As a graduated master's student seeking for PhD opportunities, I cannot appreciate your share more.
Thanks for sharing! (btw you are so beatifull and cute~
Wow I applied twice for a master at W but I didn't got to secure a scholarship funding but now I'm applying for PhD at UBC
UBC is great! Love Vancouver! Good luck!!

Eugine please make a video on Mathematics.
great

@@wiliam7670 hey William, I don’t know if you’ll see this but I am also applying for a PhD in economics too! We should connect!
Eugenie: "I am still the biggest introvert I know". Me: Still afraid to go out, due to the potential of interacting with people.
:P. Love the video.

@Hilal Ahmad Thaaanks!
Thank you for this video. Is there any CV format for Ph.D. applicants without research experience?
I just added my template for CV and SoP in the description :D
I get it. If you pick the correct college sweater you can save money on AC and look good in movies. Also, science stuff.
Your SoP is soooo looong.

oh god , you are cute .
