Economics, German Univ of Excellence (TIMES Overall 189; ARWU Economics Subject 151-200), one-semester exchange at the Univ of Essex Grad GPA: equivalent to 'more than satisfactory' or B- or 2.92/4.0 (grade conversion using WES tools) GRE: V - 151 (51%), Q - 166 (89%), AW - 3.5 (39%) Undergrad Math Courses: Linear Algebra (67), Advanced Math 1 (73), Advanced Math 2 (76), Probability and Mathematical Statistics (90), Statistics (73) Undergrad Econ Courses: Microeconomics (86), Macroeconomics (85) Grad Econ Courses: Advanced Microeconomics 1, Advanced Macroeconomics 1, Advanced Econometrics, Applied Time Series Analysis, Quantitative Methods in Management Research, Topics in Applied Economics, Labor Market Search, Development Economics, Environmental Economics, Communication and Information Aggregation, Behavioural Finance Programming Courses: Matlab for Finance, Exploratory Data Analysis and Data Visualisation (RStudio) LoR: 2 Econ Profs (one grad program with a PhD from Rochester, another undergrad program) and 1 Econ Dr (grad program with a PhD from German Univ) Research Experience: a master thesis (50-page body text) on behavioural economics, a few research essays, a revised research proposal Others: Kaggle Data Project, Data Analysis Intern Research Interests: Applied Microeconomics, Behavioural and Experimental Economics Applied to: Emory Univ, Clemson Univ, Univ at Buffalo, Univ of South Florida, Auburn Univ (pending), Colorado State Univ (pending) I understand that my profile is quite bad, so Emory is the best I applied to and it was recommended by one of my referees. The GPA of my last semester in the UK is much better (68, 70 is the first-class), this is not because I worked harder but since my home Univ in Germany normally gives a 'C' grade. Of course, I'm not a top student per se but just an average one. I'm thinking of applying to UNH since my pre-application was approved by them and I am quite unsure if I can get a place in the programs listed above. Could you please leave any advice?

Hello, I am applying to PhD program in Finance at Univ. of Tennessee, Knoxville. However, I cannot submit my application because they require a "Computer program". I dont even have any ideas on what it is? This is what they ask:" Attach a sample of computer program that you have written, and list the class of job for which the program was written." I haven't written any computer program. What should I do? I have asked the department, but they are unlikely to reply before the deadline of Jan 1st. Could I submit my writing sample (my masters thesis) instead? Does anyone have an idea on this case? Thanks a lot,
