I ask because thus far I have completed one undergraduate research project for a student research forum (not for a class), and plan on doing another one this year (also, not for class). I am also presenting a paper I co-authored with a professor at a conference on the contingency of acceptance. The conference will publish the papers in the proceedings of their journal.

How much will undergraduate research contribute towards my chances for admission in a Finance PhD program?

Will the presentation at the conference and being published in the journal proceedings be a big boost for my application?

Personally I think they will be, because that's what a PhD is all about, research! I wanted to see what you guys thought before I get too pumped about it though. Thanks.
