24fall mkt Rochester offer 求问几个问题

hhhh12399

刚收到Rochester mkt的offer，由于之前都是econ背景，对商学院了解较少，所以想问问大家：
1、Rochester整体大概处于什么水平呢？我感觉是tier2的学校。我看utd排名是62，不算太靠前，跟它规模比较小有关吧？
2、我主要申请的是econ（结果都还没出来，捂脸），申mkt是因为做的话题很相关，但就申了几所（可能就只有Rochester有offer）。如果以后想找教职的话，是不是去biz school更好呢？
3、我之前做的项目大概是applied micro，就是花大力气找数据，清洗数据，跑reduced reform。最近看了一些mkt的论文，好多都用到了machine learning，dynamic structural model这种，我甚至感觉比econ还要数理一些。学习这些看起来很高级的方法也是必要的吗？
感觉都是小白才问的问题，希望大家能耐心解答一下，谢谢！！

1. Rochester很好，实际上program排名应该在top20左右，不会低于top30。
2. 除非你有econ top10（甚至top5）的offer，不然找教职肯定不如Rochester Marketing
3. mkt现在reduced-form，structural，ML都用的很多。如果去Rochester，大概率jmp要做structural，技术上跟econ的empirical IO可以说是一样的。比econ里头非structural的方向（比如dev labor之类）要更需要数理和coding一点。

谢谢你！这么说来，我感觉我还撞大运了。econ top10我肯定拿不到的。看来Rochester是个好选择！

By the way, 之前看到过zz的帖子，特别有帮助。再次感谢，祝您研究顺利！

当然，具体这个项目是不是适合你，也建议多了解一下。

嗯嗯，我跟那边的老师多交流一下！

I would stay with the economics side if I can get into a top 30 economics program (that is, at least at the level of OSU or UT Texas for public schools or WUSTL or Boston College for private schools). The job market for business Ph.D.s is said to be approaching 'saturation'. Competition for faculty positions is increasingly strenuous for certain concentrations, including Strategy, Organizational Behavior and other subfields under the Management umbrella. Can you imagine what it will be like five or six years from today? Also, a Ph.D. in economics promises a wide array of career opportunities in diverse arenas. Note, for example, that some top business schools are known for having a penchant for hiring economics Ph.D.s concentrating in certain domains of research, including Fin Econ, Econometrics, and Industrial Organization.

Thank you for your answer! Good perspective! I'll wait for the results from econ programs. Then, I'll compare them and make a decision.

楼上那位对how top school works没有什么概念，建议直接忽略。

I believe my point regarding the 'hiring idiosyncrasies' of some top business schools is on spot. For instance, as I know, many Finance faculty members at Booth School and Haas School are Economics Ph.D.s.

By the way, let's put aside 'professorial hubris'. Please forgive me should this sound offensive. Thank you.
