本人目前在美攻读EXECUTIVE MB0A，比较GENERAL，那种，本科读的英文，毕业后一直在一家公司先做SALES，后做海外项目经理，近几年不停在各大洲间为生意奔走，本想在美读一年书，拿下MBA休息一下，可在美期间感觉很想继续做读书人，因为这里FINANCE PROFESSOR鼓动，考了GMAT（匆匆茫茫状态太差，VERAL 只28分，QUANTITIVE 51，合计680），准备申请部分商学院的FINANCE PHD，因为多年不读书，没有什么PAPER发表过，不知道这种条件是否具备申请的条件，对了，因为我在他们的课上表现不错，在这里的商学院的几位FINANCE PROFESSORS 包括DEAN，答应给我写RECOMMENDATION。。请各位大侠指点迷津。

How old are you and which university, the EMBOA, are you in now?

I discover that your program is a one year program, is it full time or part time? Besides, your target PhD program is also important to answer your question.

I am 29. I am in Wright State University studying in an EMBA program between Shandong Government and WSU. This is a full-time one year program in executive format and we will get a MBA degree this December. I am now trying to locate some universities which have Finance PHD programs but not sure whether my background will support this. By the way, when I majored in English during my undergraduate study, I also studied advanced mathematics (calcus, linear algebra, and statistics) and western economics and got nice credits at that time. I do not know this will help. In my MBA program, I got A in all courses so far. Thank you very much...

You should try PhD if you really love it. Although your GMAT does not stand you out, you have good GPA for both master and undergraduate, haven't you?

Finding suitable schools is more difficult but, anyway, good luck.

看了一些学校对phd的要求，印象只有一个学校要求有工作经验，还有一个prefer，绝大多数学校申明不需要工作经验（另外那2个要求有经验或prefer的好像是accounting，我记不清了）。好像楼主的优势正在工作经验上。而且phd的方向是teaching和research，有的学校有相当的课程是交你如何教学，你喜欢么？你说你的本科是学英语的，不知道你修过的课程能不能满足finance对数量课程的要求-有的学校是要求工程级的数学的。paper好像没有特别要求，有的学校还说不要把paper寄来，没人看的，既然如此，呵呵。觉得你的英语基础完全可以让你的gmat考个有竞争力的分数，不如再考，牛校的gamt要求是各项90%.
