2016 Marketing PhD集结号-信息分享和沟通(更新 1/6 Emory面试，1/15 Wisconsin面试，1/25 Temple面试)

easydaliang

本人目前申请明年入学的Marketing PhD项目，发现今年CD上面信息很少，也鲜有分享学校招生或者申请信息的。目前我申了10个Program，和一半以上的Program有过沟通，所以抛砖引玉和大家分享一些申请信息，也希望有今年一起申请的同学们互相更新下信息。

很感兴趣的是Temple大学 Xueming Luo做的各种Mobile marketing研究，他最近几年带着团队发出来好几篇A Journal，这个大学和Mkt项目本身不是很有影响，他们家反而IS方面很不错。但是因为Luo教授在，今年Place了学生去了Emory做Tenured Faculty，非常了不得。


这周去了Minnesota大学做过拜访，和三位Professor聊了下申请意愿。他们的项目今年应该招2个人，不会刻意去给Quant还是CB名额区分。PhD office的女士说他们去年算是招的比较多的，一共招了3个人，今年整个商学院7个Program会有2-3个机动名额，如果Marketing Program觉得有额外的申请人很不错，可以申请一个机动名额。这个项目的CB据说很好，我本人是申的Quant方向，他们家偏经济学Quant，两位华人老师都是做econmetric和Gaming theory的。 他家Package是$2W 12个月+$5000 summer fellowship

Pittsburgh大学我和PhD的Director见面聊过，他们家属于比较低调和务实的，看了我的background后直接说我可以申请更好的，这句话反而让我觉得他家很接地气。据说他们家PhD项目的很多课程可以选修CMU的，这样资源共享也是优势，CB方面有很不错的老师，我在Quant方面主要是打算跟Professor Inman。看了Pittsburgh的一些宣传片和大学介绍，感觉这小城市蛮不错的。他们家给的Package好像是$2.1W+$5000,这个5000是商学院自己补贴进来的。

下周会去Maryland做拜访，之前和他们的几个Professor在不同的学术会议上都有见过，对他家印象一直很好，有好几个老师和我的研究方向很match。

本人因为在Wisconsin读书，所以对自己的项目比较了解，我们家的CB非常不错，有Professor Page, Thompson, Joanne还有Tanner。 Quant方面前几年流失了几位不错的教授，目前顶梁柱是我的Academic Director Professor Neeraj Aoroa，他是工程统计背景出身，做了蛮多关于packaging, advertisting的研究；另外不错的教授是Noah Lim 和Qing Liu 都是做empirical experiment和model的教授。 去年新来了UCLA毕业的Professor Hoban，很有才华的新星。

我申请的10个项目截止日期基本都在12月15-1月15日之间，我是在感恩节之前提交完所有的申请了，和不同项目沟通感觉他们大部分是在截止日期后由PhD office统一收集材料交给各个Department，然后department在春季开学（2016年1月18-20日前后）后组织进行初步筛选，在确定了shortlist后会安排面试或学校拜访，这个大概会在2月初。如果大家有什么其他信息，尤其是东西海岸的学校和项目，欢迎分享一下。我申请学校的更新都盖在了楼下地板上，请慢慢查看

UMN在CB有更强大的校友网络，这点也值得考虑一下

考虑到你握着PSU的offer，还在等UMN的消息，想必你自己心里已经有倾向了，预祝顺利拿到UMN的offer，如果最终去了PSU也挺好，都值得好好庆祝

Thanks, Frank. I do like brand and cross cultural research, so probably will end up working with Rohini and Carlos at UMN. Not me best interest to work on pure psych-oriented stuff though.

For PSU, I agree with you that do their papers are more interesting and practical relevant. Not sure with whom I will end up working with. I've been in touch with Lisa, Meg and Karen for a while, all of them are great mentors based on their previous/current students' comments. Have some potential projects with Karen. But both Karen and Meg will be on sabbatical from this Fall. I am really impressed by the amount of enthusiasm they are showing to me, or is it common after a school gave an offer?

Anyway, I shall hear back from UMN next week. Guess I will have to see how things unfold before a final decision. Thanks for your advice, Frank!

It depends on your interest. Let's count those who you could work with at UMN: Vladas--evolutionary psych, Carlos--culture psych and brand, Kathleen--social psych, Debbie--brand and developmental psych, Rohini--brand, Joe Redden--satiation, Alison--mindset, information processing. Joan Meyers Levy doesn't take student anymore. Not sure about Ashkay Rao.

So if you really like psych-oriented, information processing or brand research, UMN would be a perfect place for you.

For PSU, I really like Meg Meloy and Lisa Bolton. They have broad interest but their papers are very smart, interesting and practical relevant. Karen Winterich is really good at getting papers published. I heard from one of her former student that she is a also great advisor. PSU is similar to my department since they have a strong marketing strategy group too, which means they might care a lot about MARKETING implication of research. That's quite different from UMN.

Frank，想问下你对Penn State和Minnesota的看法？我是CB的，拿到Penn State offer，在UMN shortlist上。FYI, have research fit with faculty in both programs. Penn State is very enthusiastic in getting me to come and different profs have been checking with me every other day for over a week. Some even talked about potential collaboration opportunities. Looks like I can get full support and attention there/But Minnesota is huge in CB and have truly great faculty
