Hi,

I'd like to get the advice of people on the forum for schools that I should apply to if I decide to get a Ph.D. in Business. I'm interested in studying international business, with a special interest in China.

I went to undergrad at Stanford, majoring in economics with a minor in chemistry. I got a 3.7 GPA, but took only one math class, and got a lowly B-.

I worked for 3 years at a technology startup, and 1 year at a consulting company.

I then decided I wanted to apply to Ph.D. programs, so went back to get a Master's degree in economics and to take more math classes. I went to UC Santa Barbara, and did well, getting a 4.2 GPA, including A and A+ grades in differential equations, intermediate linear algebra, and real analysis.

Finally, I've worked for the past year at a top think tank.

What do you guys think? What schools should be in my range?
