Most of the schools I am going to apply for PhD ask for online application. My main worry is how am I going to submit my degree transcripts and anything that is in printed form! Should I scan them or just post them separately? Could anyone who has done it before please help me? Thank you in advance!

I'm considering a Masters before proceeding to a PhD because I've been out of school for so long. In the MIS world, would it be better to pursue an MS at UT-Dallas or an MS at Texas A&M? A&M has a better reputation in general, but their MIS department doesn't seem research-focused and they have...

Greetings, Does anyone know what the profile "ranges" are for admitted students in operations research? Even more specifically, how they differ between tiers? MIT & Stanford Minnesota & Washington Colorado & Utah Also if you have any opinions on the differences between business and...

From looking at profiles of current PhD candidates in finance, regardless of what tier the school is in, it looks like a large percentage of students are international students.

I'm wondering if any Canadians would care to share how (or if) they converted their marks from the 100 point scale to the 4 point scale. It seems to me that some schools outline how they like grades to be converted while some leave it up to the applicant. I'd like to be honest on my application,...
