I'm considering PhD in risk management in Austin.......

Do you have any information? Thanks!

You can contact the Risk Management department in McCombs for PhD. PhD programs are managed by departments, not MBA office. So you can call them or write E-mail for communication. Ask a list of Chinese PhD there for help.

Dear phxmu,

It's so nice to see the discussion board of Austin McComb here.  I am applying for 2007 Fall MBA program.  I have 5 years working experience, including 4 years in IT industry.  and I had an interview with Daniel Garza during the MBA tour in Asia.  I have highly interest in applying Austin McComb's MBA program, and I hope to discuss with you online for more detail information.  Because of the intensive business trips during these months, I could not catch up the deadline of first application date. 

My MSN: wang1233(A) hotmail.com">owang1233(A) hotmail.com.

I have added your MSN on my list.

Thank you again for your help.

Hi phxmu,

The placement table of class 2006 is very informative. I'm just wondering the % and job hunting situation for the Chinese students, such as what companies they go to, what level of positions they get? how much avg. salary for Chinese graduates.

thanks so much!

I will say each student is different. Two reasons that Chinese students may not get so many opportunities:

1. Language barrier. If you can really speak good English, this will not be a problem. However, more than half of Chinese students have language barrier.

2. More than half companies do not recruite International Students. There is nothing you can do with it. But all consulting, i-banking and most finance job recruite international students. Problem is in some marketing area. However, there are always sufficient companies you can apply to.

In conclusion, it depends on individual.

Thanks, Phxmu. I appreciated your quick answers. Here's something in my mind. Hope you could continue to giving me your insights when you have time.

1. Language barrier is always a topic for Chinese students in the job hunting. I don't quite understand how "good" in English will be considered non- (seems impossible) or less language barrier?  My experience in the U.S. MNC is that most of my Chinese peers don't speak very good English, but they are doing very well in the company. One of them is a senior marketing manager, who graduated from a 200+ ranked MBA program. Personally, I think your English is not bad. (You hosted the Austin Ad. Q-A session last time on CD). Do you think your English will be a barrier for you in the job hunting? How's your English level compared to other students in the class (including American students)?

2. To clarify the meaning of "International students", do you mean those students who need a H1B sponsor or all the International students, including those with GC? Do you hint that the chance of getting a job in MKT area is really slim? It's really bad news for me, as I want to work in MKT area.

Thanks again for your information!

请教楼主关于GMAT送分的问题：我一直是通过网上www.mba.com向学校送分的，其他学校都没问题，但不知何故在选择接受学校时就是搜索不到Universtiy of Texas at Austin-Mccombs。McCombs网站上说要ETS送分，但GMAT已经换东家了，ETS网站上没有GMAT一栏，不知如何送分给McCombs。请指教。急。多谢。
