2016 Fall PhD in CB

wxhlampard

本科：国内财经院校旅游管理（酒店管理方向），GPA3.65 (WES认证后的GPA），校十佳大学生plus杰出毕业生（然并卵）研究生：酒馆美国Top2的MS项目(GPA3.9)，顺便带了一个MIS的Graduate Certificate (GPA3.6)，为了加强自己的quantitative背景，在读第二个应用经济学的硕士(Current GPA:4.0)

推荐信的话，老师都愿意给我写，可是老师们在business学术界的影响力可能最多就是小有名气，最熟悉的市场营销老师发过三四篇JBR和两三篇EJM，也是因为我们学校商学院B Journal就okay的缘故..楼主正在教100level的课，tutor过700level的研究生基础统计应用课（就是ANOVA，t-test，OLS regression那种）..
社会活动在美国也是一大堆（然并卵），最值得骄傲的就是学校历史上第一个中国人毕业演讲吧（楼主不是已经一个硕士读完了嘛）...

然后楼主想申请CB的博士，求定位..Top School有希望嘛？楼主很喜欢西北（因为有非常喜欢的老师plus是大牛校啊），另外楼主会申威斯康星、华盛顿西雅图、北卡教堂山、匹兹堡（也都是因为有比较喜欢的老师），求定位有没有希望申请这些学校...楼主要不要再考GMAT了？！尤其是哪位在这些学校就读CB的学长学姐如果看到楼主的帖子，指一盏明灯，楼主表示会非常非常的感谢~~

Hi, Frank, may I ask your opinion about ASU

Congratulations to your offer! Great program for sure. Both Andrea Morales and Naomi Mandel are fabulous researchers and advisors. I submitted a special session together with Adriana Samper and feel that she is also super nice to work with. ASU has a strong social psych department, which is another plus.

我的感觉大概是前10，或者至少是s16级别的phd，不过还要具体看看research的fitness这些的。

I'm not discouraging you. But it's very unlikely to get into a top CB program without strong RL from well known scholars in the field these days.

It's not because you're not good enough--the fact is that so many American native applicants have several years of RA experience and strong RLs from scholars who have connections with the program they apply for. As an international applicant, you have to be even better than them.

For the programs you mentioned, Kellogg is almost impossible. U Pitts just admitted an American who has been working with a professor there for years. Wisconsin Madison admitted two Chinese students last year but their research experience is way better than you. UW Seattle is even more competitive, as far as I know. UNC only accept quant and strategy applicants.

You can try some top 20 programs such as UFL, Maryland. But focus more on T30-T50 programs. Since you have some quant preparation, applying for marketing strategy might be another good option.

大神讲的很有道理，我打算就申请几个特别想去的学校，不行就继续读酒馆的博士～我们的副院长（CB出身）就是说推荐信最重要，别的都其次～谢谢大神的点拨～

大神，我有一个问题想问一下，如果control住推荐信的内容，是推荐人本身牛一些对于录取更重要还是推荐人和管招生的老师们关系铁一些对于录取更重要呢？

我感觉network更重要一些。但是大牛往往意味着network更强，与更多的faculty有联系，所以二者一般是强相关。你居然还有超过三个推荐人可以挑……

Do you have any suggestions about good CB programs in 30-50?

try Utah, Virginia Tech, Georgia, Arizona, TAMU, Alberta, Cincinnati, UTSA, CUHK and HKUST. Those are not necessarily T30-50 programs but are "friendly" programs for Chinese applicants, and they are all solid programs.
