Today I accepted the offer from Stanford GSB and wrote to all other programs I got admitted or waitlisted. So I hope it'll help someone of you to get in.

Good luck!

Anyone else deciding on which Finance PhD offers to accept? I am choosing between UCLA, Wharton, and Duke. Anyone have input on any of these schools?

Hello,

do you guys have any input on USC and UC Irvine's Finance PhD programs? Speak to the Econ PhD programs as well if you can since Finance students take the micro/macro/econometrics core too at most places.

History? Placement? Availability of Good Advisors? Quality of the programs? (My interests are financial economics, asset pricing, alternative capital/Private Equity)

thanks people.

HI All,
I have been reading this forum for a few days.

Would greatly appriciate for any feedback on my profile and suggestions. I had applied for Ph.D programs in IT management in some business schools and interdisciplinary programs. But got dismal rejects.I do not have a good math background but, 4.5 year work experience in a top consulting firm in IT area, 6 CS courses from uiuc-I have two A grades and 4 B grades, the latter because my sibling died in an accident and it was very hard for me to perfrom well for a couple of semesters. SO I want to improve for reapplying by taking some courses.
Calculus from I -III, Linear Algebra, Algorithms Design and Analysis, Descrete Math for CS.

Here is my profile. I would really appreciate some feed back to improve myself. I am a Permanent Resident in US and am interested in Knowledge Management systems

4.5 years work experience with Big 5 consulting firm in implementing IT soultions.
1.5 year Ph.D at uiuc. GPA 3.55
Area: Implementing IT in developing economies..from Education Policy studies department. I had to leave the program as a sibling died in an accident and I wanted to make sure my parents recover from it.
Masters in Education from Harvard University.
GPA. 3.5. Area: Research Methods (statistics and Policy) My gpa is not on the high end, because I took three very difficult courses intended for Ph.D students and where only 2 or 3 people are given an A in the class.I took more for enhancing my knowledge rather than taking saftey classes where I know I can make an A grade.

Masters in Education. GPA 3.8 From University of Pennsylvania. Well I did this masters while trying to save money for my harvard admit that I had deferred for following year.
BA. Triple Major: Political science, English and Education. Minors: General science from a top School overseas and I got the best graduating student award. But I don't know if the adcom knows that this is a top school in my area. Thank you
