CS PhD application & planning: How I got into everywhere (MIT, Berkeley, etc.) 

UBC is great! Love Vancouver! Good luck!!

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 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!

@@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!
