    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!

    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 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?
