Kellogg Or Wharton for Finance PhD

cdfraul

应该还是kellogg好吧，听说教授和学生互动特别密切，wharton的老师都不太管学生的。而且我在blackstone实习过，和MD聊的时候也觉得近些年wharton掉的很厉害

If you are female, no need to worry too much. If you are male and Chinese, discount yourself to the placement or only focus on male Chinese placement. I do not want to specify the reason, but it is a fact.

Thanks above. What do you mean by Chinese student placement? Is this different with other student placement? Sorry I am not aware.

楼主，我的教授是西北毕业的。他说西北的教授对学生帮助也不大的。

所以你当然选宾大啦。

楼主太牛了，合影。

聽說 Kellog 的 program 排名有逐漸超過 Wharton 的趨勢, 主要還是在 Kellog 的教授很熱心幫助學生  甚至是就業的輔導, 所以就業也特別方便

Wharton 好像就吃老本... 不知道
不過如果我是你  估計就選 Kellog 了; 畢竟我覺得 PhD 在做研究跟受啟發這一方面, 受到教授的影響還是非常非常大的. 就算想回國唬弄人, Kellog 的名氣也夠了

Thanks for this information. Can you (or anyone) elaborate at least one which side the discrimination come from? Just confused. If the discrimination is coming from the demand side, then it doesn't make sense to look at only Chinese placements at each school. If the discrimination is coming from supply size (meaning professors at some schools don't like to push for Chinese candidates), then this is some very important information that everyone should be aware of. Thanks

Do not call discrimination, hehe. It is just a fact but calling this is politically incorrect. It comes from the demand side. But it is still important to look at Chinese placement because most Americans will choose Wharton over Kellogg if they get offers from both. So you may see better placement for Americans from Wharton than that from Kellogg, so looking at Chinese placement of one school over another might give a better sense of which environment might be more suitable for Chinese after taking this discount into consideration.

Accounting is different. No top school accounting faculty members pays much attention to PhD students.

不太清楚你具体的career path，不过如果今后打算做hedge fund的话，如果想从学界入手，你下海之前在哪里任教比哪里phd重要的多，所以尽量选个好的phd program（为什么不考虑UCLA或者duke？）如果想从业界入手，那么你之前在墙街做的如何恐怕远比你在哪里念phd要重要的多，那就应该选离wall street最近的地方，NYU显然比Wharton好很多。 无论如何，Wharton都不是个好选择。
