  1. Ok thank you for the advice and getting back to me! Im sure as it is for everyone that desires to go this route it is very stressful preparing for the application process
  2. Oh and if it matters my undergrad was a major in finance minors in econ and math
  3. Hi. Thank you for responding to me. In order my interests are academia, private sector, public sector. Most of the weight would rest on academia. I do have a graduate degree, MS finance. I have no preference between finance and econ(I am going to apply to both types of programs regardless). Based upon conversations with my graduate professors, they feel that my research interests would best be satisfied or fit a econ program that offers financial economics as a field that would allow me to take the finance classes through the finance phd program at the respective school. Similar to what you alluded to in you post. I have some research experience in a couple of graduate classes that I am going to highlight as the work was done in professor's classes who are writing my LORs. However, no formal research as an assistant or anything like that. I do have knowledge of and experience in statistical programs SAS and STATA. Sorry for the lack of information before I was hoping for a response like you gave, a quick screening as Ive heard thats how a lot of admissions people start the process of reviewing applications. I was hoping to pass the "smell" test first then have them dive deeper into the application where I feel I have very strong LOR's and the math background plus statistical programming experience should help me standout at least a small amount. Any further thoughts, suggestions, or advice? I know that both fields are extremely competitive and the decision process can be somewhat random at times. I want to go the best school possible that fits my research interests, however I am ok with going to a mediocre school as I have a very strong desire to do research as a career.
