大家好，我准备申请2006FALL商学院PHD，专业：Strategic Management & Orgnization Theory. 请牛人们给偶指点指点，偶感激不尽！

偶大学本科毕业，中央财经大学，经济管理系，GPA：3.0，专业的GPA：3.5，其中MARKETING 与INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATION是纯西式全英文教学，做过两个PROJECT。

GRE：烂，560/750， TOEFL，没考10月

工作三年，期货公司半年，房地产公司半年（宏观政策及产业研究）；管理咨询公司两年，主要从事战略管理与组织再造。有四个成功案例，涉及房地产业，流通行业，传媒行业，IT行业。其中，流通企业属国内一流企业！在工作中，还有一些对理论的创新与修正。同时还有自己的两个专业课题研究，主要针对客户进行培训。未发表过文章！

有国内知名管理咨询专家推荐（获“蒋一苇”优秀著作奖）

偶想申请排名靠前一点的学校，不知道实力是否具备，PHD竞争激烈，请大牛指点！！！

等待牛人，在线等啊

我不是牛人，但试着回答楼主的问题。

楼主的工作经验很丰富，可惜学术／研究方面的经历不太够。另外，GPA和GRE的分数要申PhD也是低了些。想进排名靠前的商学院博士班，又是策略和组织研究专业，V大概至少要600以上，Q则是愈高愈好。

说句坦白话，国际学生申请这个专业是相对较吃亏的(比起native speakers)，因此即使你的综合条件不错，也是风险很高，何况楼主没有读研的经验。就美国top的商学PhD来说，直接从国内招的本科毕业的很少，所以楼主若是不介意出国先念一个硕士(也能负担得起的话)，我的建议是先申一个统计或社会科学的硕士来念，这两年之内把GPA弄高一些，且尽量找些老师跟著作研究，之后再申博，成功的机率比较大。

我也是申请跟你一样的专业，今年申请六家学校，只上了一家(侥幸！)。认识一位很优秀的朋友，各方面条件都好，已是香港某顶尖学校的PhD学生，也申请这个领域的PhD，结果不幸全军覆没。

个人意见，供参考。祝楼主好运。

同意jadelo。国内本科申请M&O的成功率几乎很小。美国商学院phd都prefer有master degree的applicant,GPA, GRE/GMAT和推荐信都很重要。有个比较高的master的gpa可以弥补你本科gpa的不足，再加上美国学校faculty的推荐信会更有说服力。

没有master,申请phd很难！而且要拿奖，其他综合条件的要求也比较高

建议申请master先

谢谢各位楼上的朋友，可不可以申请次点的学校，比如：50名以后的？？？

还有请问jadelo，你申请的是和我一个领域的吗？？偶想了解一下你的背景先！！！

In my opinion, for Ph.D. program, spending 4 or more years at some lower-ranked programs will not be worthwhile, as you probably will work in academia after graduation. The overall research strength and reputation will be a critical consideration in your application. In addition, some lower ranked school (maybe >80) might not have enough funding to support your phd study.

I know one girl who also does not have master degree got admitted by a not bad(around 40-50) marketing ph.d program in the U.S. However she went to U.S and took master class for one year, then changed to her current program. Based on your background, your experience is good enough to get admitted by some related master program, then try to do your best there. Then try to swtich to one ph.d program as soon as possible. This should be a reasonable way. Anyway you still can try to apply some ph.d program if you want. BTW, I just suppose you do not have any special brilliant stuff here, so I said it in a general sense. If you do have some great points, Go ahead to shot it! Good luck

Recently,I surfed the website of some schools and only find some HRM Master programs are cognate.However it is toughly competitive to get some financial aid.

On the other hand, my experience do great help to my research of strategic management & organization theory(especially orgnization redesign) and at the same time narrow my research area. So I am not very specialized in HRM .

The problem is although the application macro-environment for Master program is better than PHD program, HRM is not very match to me and seems difficult to show my brillant spots.Maybe it can be concluded as a word "competing in a field someone is not excel".

Which one should I choose??
