请大家帮我看看申请美国的创业方面的phD是否有机会，谢谢！

zhufeisophie

我本科吉林大学工商管理专业，专业排名第一，但是没有发表文章，硕士复旦大学，企业管理专业，GPA3.6，在国内期刊发表3篇文章，期刊不牛，参加两次会议（分别在香港和南开），托福640，GMAT11月份考。我现在想申请美国创业方面的博士项目，但是不知道创业这个专业在美国是不是竞争非常激烈？而且我现在不认识美国的教授，这是我最大的劣势。

请大家帮我看看我申请成功的机率有多大？申请什么样的学校更合适？给我一些指点吧，谢谢~~

Why do you want to pursue a doctoral study in entrepreneurship?  You might try MIT if you score GMAT 730+.  MIT has a specialization in technology entrepreneurhsip.

MIT, my dream university~~however, I wonder whether my quality can meet the requirement of MIT, this highly competiitve university....

Can I ask why you suggest MIT to me? Do you have any prior experience? Thank you~~

Your profile sounds perfect. You can try to contact some faculties in this area now to see their reponse.But as far as I know, not many people do research in this direction.Why not restrict yourself so tightly? Think about broader range of interest.Good luck!

I do not think the you have to reach the gmat or toefl score in their website have methioned. I knew a lot of persons who just got GRE and still got some offers. One of the top ten business schools said the average toefl score for successful applicants is above 650, but last year I knew none of the appliants who got its offer have toefl score higher than 620.

My research interest lies in the intersection of strategy and entrepreneruship. Entrep is one of the fastest growing segments in the Academy of Management and job market looks promising (see this paper STATE OF DOCTORAL EDUCATION IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP and this one ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION: EMERGING TRENDS). Top schools in the area include prestigious schools) like Standford, MIT, Columbia and LBS, but a number of less well-known schools (Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota, UW Seatle, Darden) are also very strong in this field. Check out this website: http://eweb.slu.edu (it's not working right now for some unknown reasons, but it's very resourceful).

Application in the field can be very competitive, especially in those top schools. My suggestion for you is to aim for the strategy program in some middle range schools (like the above-mentioned public schools) and apply for smaller schools with big entrep names  (like Ronald Mitchel in Texas Tech  http://www.ronaldmitchell.org/ and Scott Shane in CWRU http://www.som.cwru.edu/faculty/faculty.cfm?id=14051 ) as your backup.

rongdongc, you better go to Shane's seminar, and it is really good. I was told that Scott got another fund from Kaufmann to support this seminar in the coming three years.

Powerapple: Yes, I had an eye on his seminar but found out his curriculum is more economics-based. I prefer theoretical lens in sociology cognition. Are you in the same area? If so, drop me a line and we can talk.

CWRU is not recruiting any PhD students. Heard that it has a financial issue.  By the way, which school are you currently studying in?  Would you like to share your application experience?
