Sample Admissions Letter for PhD Program
Dear Admissions Committee,
My name is Tony B., and I have been working as a Microeconomics professor at the ********** University for seven years now. I am pleased to write this letter to support the application of Ms. Anastasia S. for the PhD International Economics programme at your esteemed institution. I worked closely with Anastasia during her final year of MSc Economics and had the opportunity to mentor her for her master’s thesis. I have been impressed by her academic proficiency, dedication and remarkable intellectual curiosity. During our interactions, I observed her analytical thinking skills and originality in research. I strongly believe these qualities make her a potential candidate to successfully pursue a career in research.
Anastasia has demonstrated excellent skills in economic theory, quantitative analysis, empirical research and strategic thinking during her time at the University. Academically, her performance has been consistently good in all the subjects covered during her master’s programme. Her work ethics and enthusiasm for economics set her apart from the rest. In my Advanced Microeconomics course, Anastasia demonstrated a solid understanding of the subject and performed remarkably well. She consistently displayed a good understanding of complex theoretical models and was able to accurately apply these models to analyse stimulating economic issues. Her 4.0 GPA shows her dedication to the subject area.
During Anastasia’s final project on Behavioural Economics, she demonstrated the ability to work independently with creativity and precision. Without much intervention from the supervisors, Anastasia conducted a comprehensive analysis of consumer decision-making in the digital market. Using advanced econometric techniques and rigorous data analysis, she uncovered significant insights into the fast-paced digital market. The quality of her research was exceptional. Her work not only demonstrated an in-depth understanding of the theoretical frameworks but also her ability to apply these concepts in a practical setting. Another notable skill that sets Anastasia apart from her peers is her proficiency in the English language. Her thesis was written in a clear, concise and well-organised manner. This project was subsequently presented at our annual economics conference, where it received recognition from both faculty and industry professionals.
Apart from her academic achievements, Anastasia has shown remarkable leadership and collaboration skills as a key member of our university’s basketball team. She has exhibited good time management skills and perseverance by balancing the demands of rigorous academic work with athletic commitments. Her leadership qualities were evident in her role as team captain. Anastasia’s curious nature and passion for continuous learning make her an ideal candidate for a rigorous PhD programme at your institution. I am convinced that she will show the same level of commitment, adaptability and excellence in your institution that she has demonstrated here. She will undoubtedly be a valuable asset to your research institution, just as she has been to ours. With her exceptional skills, I am confident that Anastasia will make significant contributions to your research programme and to the broader academic community.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information.
Sincerely,
Tony B.
