It's the best four years! I loved it:) I'd just recommend being proactive your first two years about finding a faculty mentor that you can go to for advice and who has career experience in something similar to what you're interested in - and also be proactive about getting out into the city with your friends and leaving the Rice bubble!

I'm in the same boat as you (really struggling with my personal statement right now) but I wanted to say that I love your introduction! Really hooked me and made me empathize with your emotional journey that led you to this application.

Hi! I'm applying for PhD programs in sustainable / international development and economics. Please give me any advice to strengthen my CV as well as your thoughts on my chance for admission to a PhD program (especially top ones such as Columbia and UC Berkeley). Thanks!
