How to get into a good PhD program in economics by Brittany and Michael from Tiktok

Math courses, predoc positions, and letters are only part of the hidden curriculum

Getting a doctorate in economics is becoming more competitive. Over the years, the requirements to even be considered by admissions personnel have risen along many dimensions, not all of which is well understood by students. Some of this involves taking prerequisite course work in mathematics but sometimes it involves being strategic after you graduate like working as an RA after graduating for an economist. Tomorrows economists are expected to know a lot before ever stepping foot in the door of their new PhD programs. But sometimes students may still need an edge in the admissions process, so Brittany and Michael from TikTok are here to break down the facts and offer helpful tips to students looking to navigate the process. Good luck!
