谢谢建议，圆故事是必要条件，
看到版上成功申请到的，基本都有核心期刊，国际会议论文等干货，所以自惭 ...

核心期刊？这东西有和没有其实没什么区别。
你的背景够好了，多陶瓷。
四一五之前，大牛狂据offer的时候，一些中等偏上的学校会喜欢把waiting list里gmat分高的拿来补上。所以你可以耐心等待。

会计你可能不会喜欢的。

我比较喜欢建模，但是同时我的建模水平不觉得可以算是top notch的，所以直接quant搞marketing的q方向或者finance不如你们这些年轻牛人。
acc的话可能稍微好点，这是我不成熟的考虑。

If you don't have a good background in accounting, you will have a very hard time teaching in the future.  Undergraduate students are easier to handle, but MBA students are harder to please. Many MBA students have previous background in accounting or even have practical experience. When they find you are bullshitting, they are not happy and will give you bad rating.  Some top schools don't care about your teaching as long as your research is top notch.

Top programs do not care much about professional designations and practical experience.  Still you need to convince them why you are interested in accounting.

ok,I will definitely take your advice,thank you!
how about Australian acc programs?I heard from one folk  studying in Melbourne u that the selection there is much less competitive than northAmerica.

I think Australia also has a few great programs.
The question is: do you really like accounting?
The answer is very few smart people like accounting.
I don't see myself that smart, yet I really hate accounting.
I have an accounting designation and serval years practical experience.

I am not sure if I am fond of pure accounting stuff like audit or tax...but i think iam probably a research mania,i   like digging problems via logical thinking.I hope I could apply some orthodox research frame to accounting area.
A guy who is doing his acc phd in unc told me that you can be ignorant to debit credit, but you are supposed to be familiar with econometrics and statistics.
I think he thought the way like you,top school may not care about the acc background,though.
But i am the way far off the top programs.....
