根据个人的申请经验,我也想对这份名单做一些补充。第一,基于PhD Program Placements进行分层同时能够比较准确地反应各个学校的申请难度。虽然由于多种因素的作用,一些学校在UTD或者TAMUGA排名上有比较亮眼的表现,但是它们真实的申请门槛和学生的后续职业成长与其并不相称,很容易给申请者造成误导。
If you do really well at Oklahoma State, an R1 institution, you should have a chance for a 'balanced school'. Stevensen Institute is an R2 institution, and its doctoral program (generic, presumably) came into being only a few years ago, meaning that your future would be highly unforeseeable, if not gloomy.
Oklahoma State is in T5 of the Placement Rankings. Stevensen Institute belongs to the Unranked cohort.
Thank you for sharing! By the way, is there any ranking of doctoral programs in the Department of Accounting? It seems that the enrollment of the accounting department is not large, and the information on the network is not very sufficient. If you know this situation, would like to see your suggestions, thank you!
