【25 Accounting phd申请】陆本陆硕，还有4个月就要申请了，想咨询下大家北美和港新选校

BrilFede

想申25fall，目前对美国、加拿大的选校目前还是比较迷茫...美国目前我参考的是us news网站的那个排名（前三分别是UT austin、U Penn、UIUC），不知道这个靠不靠谱？



--BG：
陆本陆硕，本硕都是对外经贸会计，gpa3.44（本）&3.8（硕），Tofel 100（27+27+23+23），GRE 320（+ 4.5）


--研究经历：
一段本校的RA，一段港大ap的RA、一段港理工的RA（都只是数据清洗这种dirty work）
一篇working paper（还不懂会怎么署名，应该是自己一作？是自己的idea，导师的数据）


--推荐信：
对外经贸正教授（我导）、港大ap、港理工ap


目前想申请美国排名靠后一些的accounting phd，以及港、新、加的尽可能好的phd（虽然也不指望能够到港三新二...），想咨询大家一些择校/选导的tips、可参考的排名网站之类的，感谢！

BYU rankings 还是总该要知道的吧

考GMAT。。

How reputable are your undergraduate and Master's institutions? Also, you would need to retake the GRE/GMAT.
  
The USNEWS ranking is not relevant enough unless one is applying for undergraduate admission.

Not that reputable overseas, though quite famous nationally.
Thank you and I would consider retaking the GMAT however I am current busy working on a paper.
So what ranking would you recommend for accounting phd program?

Tripleg

The percentile of your current scores is around the 80th, which is lackluster. Aim for the 90th or above!
  
I would focus my time and effort on standardized exams rather than papers which do not take center stage at all in the application process.

Until you have taken/retaken the exams, I would recommend that you target Tier 5 in our Business Ph.D. Program Placement Ranking.

no oversea experience + low G/T ， 几乎保证了，你只能从排名表里从后往前倒数着选校
phd申请，说到底是中国人打中国人，你的profile在中国人里肯定后20%
稍微有点名气的accounting PhD program，哪怕地理位置不那么喜人，like 我们大美中的Missouri，Iowa，Nebraska你估计连机器筛选都过不了

These words may be hurtful but are incisive and instructive, reminding me of the phrase '... be cruel, only to be kind' in the play Hamlet by Shakespeare.

Given the profiles of your undergraduate and Master's institutions, the success of your application effort will hinge upon the results of your GRE/GMAT.
