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。

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？

WUSTL would be a no-brainer choice.

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

You are a superstar in Finance on the forum! WUSTL...

Thanks! Any particular reason that I should join Olin instead of Emory? I’m looking for rational ones instead of emotional lol

好滴。主要是emory的样本量太小了，不太好比较

My judgement is based on hard facts known to all as well as personal knowledge about the WUSTL program.
