shadoWizard Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) Hi. Does someone know how competitive RICE's PhD Marketing program is? A number of their professors seem to have CB research interest (which is unusual of US). I have done MBA (4.0 CGPA), BBAIT (3.85 CGPA) GRE 1280 (90th V, 60th Q :torn: ), wroking as a teacher in Pakistan teacheing graduate level marketing (about 1.5 yr experience). No published research but had research project in masters, not a strong math background but taking a number of math courses online (calculus, liner algebra, game theory) with no credit hourse but with probably a course completion certificate.. Second I am interested in viral marketing and none of the professors there have it on their CVs. But I talked to one of the students in RICE and she said that my specific area of interest in marketing is not a factor (at least not a big factor) in admission decision. Also what are some good universities in US that fit my current profile? Rrgards, Edited December 20, 2012 by shadoWizard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadoWizard Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 What I mean is that in US universities, professors usually stress on the quantitative research when it comes to Marketing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evergreen Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 and you're more interested in qualitative marketing research, doing stuff with viral marketing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadoWizard Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 no further takers... I just want to know whether I apply to rice with my current profile? What are the chances? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evergreen Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Given that you're interested in qualitative, try Arizona or York (Schulich) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
