The accounting program in UTD is fine. It used to have one famous professor, not sure he is still there. UTD paid big bucks to keep him. Dallas is one of the ten biggest cities in US, but not really that nice, just a col and big city, no culture, not much going on, but living expenses are low. Make sure their tuition waiver is full waiver, since UT system usually requires you to pay in-state tuition, that would be 7-8K/year.
作者: free_rabbit 时间: 2005-3-19 03:25
Thank you very much. I know that it ever had a great professor, but he has gone to UC Riverside to be the dean, as I got the information. But it is still fine.
I have been in the village in KY for 2 years, I come to like big city. hehe..
As to the tuition, the letter citement is as following:
Your appointment as Graduate Teaching Assistant (GT) in the ersonName w:st="on">laceType w:st="on">SchoollaceType> of laceName w:st="on">ManagementlaceName>ersonName> will be compensated with a monthly stipend of $ 1,500 per month. In addition, concurrently with your selection as a GTA, you have been selected to receive a UTD Graduate Studies Scholarship (GSS) that covers your full costs for UTD tuition and fees and also provides a $1,800 per year component that you can utilize for health care premiums.The total award for the Fall 05, Spring 06 and Summer 06 semesters is worth more than $34,000.
Does it means full waiver? please advise

恭喜你！！！强！！
作者: apple01 时间: 2005-3-19 08:11
Yes, that is full-tuition waiver. You can have a great life with $1500/month in Dallas. Enjoy your study!

恭喜：）

恭喜楼主先！好羡慕你有这么多OFFER。
请问楼主什么时候拿到的HAWAII的OFFER？我申请了这个学校的FINANCE专业，可是一直没有结果，写信去了也没有人理，不知道是不是没戏了？但是即使拒我也应该说一声吧？楼主给点信息参考一下吧！多谢！
作者: free_rabbit 时间: 2005-3-20 00:48
offer是有几个，不过不如人家一个牛校的。。不过，我的水平去这个级别的学校就挺合适了，我还是实在点。。
说到楼上的hawaii的offer，我是3个星期前电话面试，2个星期前点通知，一个星期前书面通知的。
他们有没有给你电话面试？你在国内还是在美国吗？我不知道金融怎么样，不过会计他们比较喜欢要已经在美国的学生，一来没有签证问题，二来英语也要好一些，方便帮他们干活。
如果你现在都还没有消息的话，并且如果你也有了电话面试了，那你可能在waiting list里面。Hawaii要求所有拿到offer的学生在3.18前必须要答复是否接受，信件摘录如下：
We are prepared to offer an 11 month graduate research assistantship
of 20 hours per week which will carry a full tuition waiver and other
benefits such as medical insurance and a stipend of at least $17,496
annually for the 2005-2006 academic period. lease note that all
assistantships are offered on an annual basis and are renewable based
upon satisfactory performance in the program.
We request that you respond to this offer and send us an email
acceptance prior to March 18, 2005 to remain eligible for the above
admission. If we do not hear from you by March 18, 2005, we will
assume you have decided not to accept this admission, and your place
will be offered to another candidate.
Congratulations on your offer and if you have any questions, please do
not hesitate to contact us at (808) 956-6723.
Sincerely,
The PhD Program in International Management
所以，如果你在waiting list 里面的话，这个星期就会有答复了。你可以主动打电话去问他们，有时候e-mail不太好沟通的。

Hi, 楼主,首先恭喜你.
你能告诉我一些UTD的情况吗?你是什么时候递的申请?有面试吗?他们要求你什么时候答复是否接受OFFER呢?
我也申请了这个学校.前天问学校,说我在WAITING LIST 里,月底等你们回复了再给我结果.
现在看来没戏了.
作者: free_rabbit 时间: 2005-3-20 03:25
Hi, up,
I will accept the offer from UTD, though they need me to reply before Apr. 15, but I have replied them with "Accept".
I think UTD is pretty good school, though not very top. Its professors' backgrounds are very strong, as you know, if you applied it.
In fact my phone interview is not very long, about 30 minutes, the shortest of all phone interviews I had.
If you are in the waiting list, I am sure you are still have chances. I think, somebody may decline it, as I have declined two universities. So take it easy, I wish to work with you in near future
作者: n7_203 时间: 2005-3-20 03:35
Thanks for your reply.
I think my chance is slim, since I have not been interviewed until now.
Anyway, congratulation on your success.

hi, up, don't give up, girl, if you really want to pursue PhD.
I wonder whether you have got offer or not. If not, don't give up:-) If so, cong.. and wish to work with you in future career.
If you want to apply for next year, I suggest you to apply more schools in Texas. TX really has many good schools with good assistantship and decent placement. In fact the job Market of accounting Phd will last 10 year good situation.
Beside try UTD again, you can apply UTSA, which is a new and small program, the professors there are very nice and helpful to the students.
And then you can apply U of Northern Texas, I ever communicated with their professors for several times, and told them I would accept the offer from UTD. They can place the graduate to some research universities with Phd program. The salary is about 80-100k, not bad, though maybe a bit lower than UTD.
And I am sure UT Arlington will admit Phd in accounting in 2006 Fall. Its program is also small and neat.
Of course, no need for me to mention UT Austin and TAMU. I was ever in their waiting list, but was finally turned down one week ago. So I am pretty sure that as to my ability, UTD is the best preference.
In my memory, Rice U, SMU and U of Houston have no PhD program in accounting.
On the other hand, if you don't care much about the location, you can apply U of Hawaii at Manoa. It is also a reputated school and very nice to Chinese students. In fact, they prefer the students with academic and working background in China and Japan, because their program is focused on international accounting.
Though, I think, you are currently in USA, that is a great advantage for applying PhD in accounting. According to my observation, very few Chinese students can be admitted directly from China, without any background in USA, except the super top schools, such as MIT, Harvard, Yale and Wharton.
Good luck

Thanks, free_rabbit, for your sharing and encouragement.
I have to say you deserve the offer. You prepared better than I did. My application for PhD was a mistake. My application for UTD is “dramatic”. I got to know UTD because my email to another school was transferred there by chance. Now the “drama” ends and I realize that the incorrect evaluation for myself is the main reason for my failure. I think I won’t application for PhD in the following year. Maybe I will pursue a master degree instead. Are you currently in an MSA program? If so, it will be great for me to get some idea from you.
Thanks again.

笨人真的不牛啊。。。。。。
如果说还有点心得的话，就是做申请花的时间比较多，以弥补背景的先天不足。二是，知道自己该去什么水平的学校。

又在谦虚了不是？笨人能读PHD？不牛能去德州当牛仔？
作者: icecdy 时间: 2005-3-22 04:49
is this background not "cow",gmat 720,GPA3.9,U.S mba and in U.S now?
作者: icecdy 时间: 2005-3-22 04:52
各位大哥,我超想来Texas-Dalls读Phd,但是背景不强,能否帮帮忙，介绍点教授或是给点内部消息,比如他们的招生偏好和最近大的研究方向啊?
作者: free_rabbit 时间: 2005-3-22 06:53
我也不多说什么了，让人家大牛看了笑话。。。
icecdy说的，我倒是多少知道一些我申请过的学校的情况。说得不对，各位指正。
根据我的了解，会计phd申请时，在学术方面，主要抓住两个大方面以确定选校范围。
1。研究方法。现在会计学比较流行的研究方法主要有两种: experimental,和archival empirical。相对来说，experimental比较倾向于behavior accounting和与psychology相关的领域，很多学校都有一个教授做这个方面的研究，但应该说，现在还并不是主流，比较有代表性的大学有Connell (它的三个教授曾经写过一片review，叫做Experimental Financial Accounting，应该算是该领域的经典。)，U of Pittsburg(这个是behavior研究的重镇)，U of South Carolina (几乎所有教授都作experimental，我曾经去过campus visit，教授非常好，program很小)。至于archival empirical的，几乎所有大学都是以这个为主吧，其中以数学，统计，计量经济学为主要研究工具，其中据说也分了门派，比如 U of Chicago 因为各个学科都受其经济学“绝对理性”的影响，会计也受此影响，还有CMU因为受“有限理性”和“算法思想”的影响，做的研究也是有所不同。不过这些都是说的比较小的program，对于大的program，十几二十人的这种，比如Austin，utd,就几乎什么领域都有所涉及了。不过，在申请该校前，最好还是和该校的学生或老师聊过了，再写PS。
2。研究领域。会计有很多研究领域：
Auditing, Behavior, Cost, Computer, Education, Financial, Governmental, History, International, Ethics, SEC, Business Law, Managerial, Non-profit, Internal Audit, Principles, Quantitative, CPA review, Systerms, Theory, Controllership, Advanced, Social, Taxation, Agency.
很多教授做其中几个领域。有一本书很好，叫Accounting Faculty Directory。你可以去找你们学校会计系的老师借来看看。
美国似乎有PhD in accounting program的学校大概100个左右，并且其中有些还是隔年招生的，比如UCLA, U of South Carolina, UT Arlington。并且大部分学校的招生人数是2－3人。所以据此估算，每年全美招收的phd in accounting 大概250－300人左右，应该说申请难度还是比较大的。不过毕业后的工作会比较好，这个市场据保守估计可以保持至少8年以上。现在如果毕业后能去研究性的大学收入大概是12万以上，一般三四流的非研究性大学也有8，9万以上。据说是商学院毕业生，在同等学校毕业收入最高的。所以竞争还是很激烈的。
如果icecdy要申请，可能准备工作还是要做得细一点，最好能在申请前争取机会和他们的教授或学生通一下电话，往往e-mail不好说清楚一些很细致的偏好的。
祝你好运：－）

Hi Free_rabbit, are you still thinking of taking the CPA exam? Any study materials to share?
作者: ivysun99 时间: 2005-4-3 06:27
Hello! Congra!
My name is Huang,Qianyun. I am going to have a campus interview for PhD in Accounting next week. I was wondering if you could share some experience and any suggestion for how to best present myself? Thank you so much!
Sincerely,
Huang
作者: free_rabbit 时间: 2005-4-3 09:07
Oh,
好久我没看到这个帖子了，居然还会被人挖起来。。呵呵。。
其实，这里好多人估计都做过campus visit，他们估计会给你些更好的建议。
我的经历可能对三流学校的campus visit比较有效一些，因为都是三流学校录取的我。如果感兴趣，可以加我msn:-)
