申请phd的出身问题

stbird

请问申请到insead Singapore的中国同学们都是985/211来的么？

kndx5

不管是不是,申请phd肯定是看出身的.

而且你这个985/211包括的学校也太多了点.

stbird

是多了点，不知道去的都是哪些学习的啊,我是凡人一个,想看看有没有投资申请费的必要

stbird

中国学生基本都是在hk和sg读了mphil的
或者极其优秀的top学校小本也有机会。

MBA可能不一定看出身，PHD绝对的

everything is possible if you have a A journal

Having an A journal is not prerequisite.

One A journal publication is not an absolute advantage; two would be more pursuasive. But who would have two A journal publications and apply for a PhD admission?

Hence, what matters is the potential to publish in A journals every year after graduation. Faculty cares more about the rigor of training and maturity of survising that applicants demonstrate in their academic background than about simply the productivity of their research experience. Anyway, most of such "research experience" is third-tier and barely counts on its own.

The above statement is just my personal opinion that reflects my own bias and experience.  In addition, only faculty from top school are interested in applicant's potentials beyond productivity. Second-tier schools strive to attract the applicants who have more productivity than brains. My comments also do not apply to non-US schools.

In summary, one A-journal publication is, at most, an indicator of the applicant's research potential, and the indicator is strong only if the applicant is the major contributor of the paper in an important way. It is the real education and self determination that truly distinguishes a future scholar from others.
