Thanks for the advice. Is there anything else I should be doing? Should I be taking psych classes? I'm worried that I don't have any psych classes on my transcript but I'm going into a psych related discipline.

Hi, I'd appreciate the wisdom of the board to determine what I can do to make my application more competitive. I'm finishing the second year of an Econ PhD and have been smitten with consumer behavior and want to switch tracks. My lack of psych courses will pose a problem--I'd do much better getting into a quant marketing program. GGPA (top 20 econ): 3.7 (Economics) Relevant courses: Behavioral DM, Experimental Econ UGPA: 3.5 (Economics) Relevant courses: Mostly math and econ GRE: 790Q, 660V Research Interests: JDM, self-control, affect and DM I realize my SOP will be crucial to convince faculty I know what I'm getting myself into. I've been sneaking into the CB and marketing seminars for the past year and have been reading JCR. What else can I do to make my application more competitive? Should I be taking psych courses? RAing for profs? What programs should I look into? There's also a chance I could work with marketing faculty at my current institution--those I've talked to recent have been receptive. Thanks! Best of luck to you all.
