Finance PhD: WashU or Emory?

taizhi705

目前拿到的有WashU finance和Emory finance的offer，rice在waitlist里头。本人的研究方向更偏向于asset pricing (empirical > theoretical)。

目前我更倾向于washu，因为做ap的不论是年轻ap还是senior professors都比emory要多。我了解到的Emory的Shanken明年就退休了，所以committe只能选Jegadeesh。But, Jegadeesh如果愿意带学生也算是huge plus，同时也有Chordia, Wei Jiang等大佬坐镇金融系。

我希望听听大伙儿们的建议 Thanks in advance!

Mar 23, 2023 Update: I just declined the Emory offer. Good luck to whoever's next in line!

做决定的原因也很简单，Olin有更大的faculty group，这对于我还没有确定明确的研究方向的是一个巨大的plus。

可以看看washu过去今年做asset pricing的学生placement如何

好滴。主要是emory的样本量太小了，不太好比较

您好，想问一下Rice的申请状态是怎么知道的？是收到了学校的通知还是您主动发邮件问到的？

面试完Kerry给我发邮件说的我在top of the list
