finance phd 虚心求定位

建议用GRE申，Top 30 Fin phd都prefer GRE. 而且你可以申Top20的Econ方向，出来placement也不一定很差。

多谢你的建议！ 不过俺gre早就过期了，而且感觉gre不比gmat简单吧？

我和LZ背景经历有点像，给你加加油拉~~

FIN admission is very competitive now. But you can give it a shot to 20-50ish schools. The background of many current students in those programs are weaker than yours.

Thanks very much for your advice. What schools can be categorized into 20-50?

vico8478

我觉得背景很好，可以top50

你是不是比较不会联络感情啊？

据说和老师去喝喝酒踢踢球很容易拿strong的推荐信的

utsa是什么？我觉得保底要多申请几个。剩下的可以。

哈哈，你关键还是要多多套现在的老板啊

他们要是给你强推，什么都有可能

为啥你总让我感觉那么乐观捏，哈哈。不过听说UIUC每年有300个人申请，只招3-4个人，这是什么难度啊其他program也都差不多啊~~

UT-Dallas
UTSA

Why do you want to go to these two?! To be honest, these two really suck; it will be extremely hard to find a job (either in academia or in the industry) after finishing your PhD at these two schools. Your background is really good, as Judy previously suggested. So be careful about choosing your target schools; there is no need to "discount" yourself; better to use Top 70-80 as backups--really!!! To the best of knowledge, this bottom line is absolutely reasonale for your background. Again, do not UNERESTIMATE yourself. good luck

Thank you very much. What kinda ranking for finance phd program do you use? I checked several ranking websites for finance program, but some of the rankings are not really reliable.   I used wpcarey.asu ranking, UT-Dallas ranked 65. Do you think it makes sense?

UT Dallas may be decent based on its b-school ranking, but DO NEVER go to UTSA--it really sucks; I have friends studying there, at both master level and doctoral level; you will never find a job by holding a degree from UTSA.
