Undergrad: major English, gpa 88/100 of best chinese university
double bachelor: economics, gpa 93/100 of same university
phd in business: 20th us university, but incomplete for some reason, major IO and minor finance, gpa 3.58, all courses taken, passed qualifying and commenced dissertation writing
GMAT: 790, 5.5
I had to suspend my doctoral studies at the US university in 2006. But I want to apply to top 10 UK and Canada programs in finance this year and get the degree. I'm very clear about my objective: academia.
Worked four years on finance news with an English newspaper before coming to the US school.
Has worked three years as securities research manager with an investment consulting firm in China after leaving the US university.
I have a couple of working papers, some in IO and some in finance. I'm submitting an IO paper to a journal.
Do I have any chance of getting admitted? Do schools dislike people who broke off their doctoral studies?
