Hi smartestguy01, Thanks for your coming. Yes. Those school are great but I have to consider my chance and financial support. My profile is not good enough :D

Hi Mr. Brownstone, Thanks a lot for your coming and your advice. As I understand, HEC Montreal & HEC Paris do not have any link. They just have an exchange program. I knew HEC Montreal when I read a research in my field and found many reputed professors here. Can you tell me more about the other schools you did apply? ... and what is your specialization/area in Management Science?

Hi Mr. Brownstone, I did apply directly to the PhD fellowship in their website (the deadline was passed). You can check in the website regularly. About my application, I have an interview 2-3 weeks ago. I did contact the prof before applying the programme. I actually don't know much about the programme more than the details in the website. What is the programme/major you are looking for in NHH?

............................ there is no HEC Montreal in PhD rank in FT (Queens as well !?)

Hi doctoraldude, Bloomsbury Thanks for your reply. Now I was accepted in HEC ... but awaiting for grant. :D

Hi doctoraldude, Thanks for your reply :) Hi nzecon, thanks again for your advice Hi auditing, ... thanks for the info and good luck to you !!

Hi nzecon, Thanks a lot. It's also helpful ! [clap]

Hi portugabel, :D Thanks a lot for your advice. I am very appreciated! This info is very useful to me. Considering both your and Bloomsbury's suggestions. I think my choices are quite clear now. :tup: 1- HEC Montreal 2- UCLouvain (I ranked it higher than KULeuven because my advisor know a reputed Prof here) 3- KULeuven 3- (tied) AARHUS School of Business 5- Norwegian School of Economics Hi Bloomsbury, Thanks for your coming ! :D ............................................. For my choices, it will be very helpful if anyone can comment on living :) ... Thanks in advance for your kind advice !

Hi Bloomsbury, The KU Leuven program is here FBE Faculty of Business and Economics KULeuven Homepage Thanks for your comment on HEC. I think I should rank UCLouvain & HEC Montreal on the top of my choices. For your question, my research interest is Management Science in Supply Chain management :D My previous study is Engineer not business field but I am working in Logistics company. I want to delve deeper into this field and it's nice to have knowledge business as well. So management school is a fit choice :grad:.

Hi Bloomsbury, Thanks a lot for your advice. I agree that some other schools in Europe might be better than these but some of them do not have program that fit with my research interests :) Thanks for your rank as well. It is helpful to me. Do you have any clue with the Norwegian School of Economic and Business Administration (NHH) ? And regarding HEC Montreal, is it good if I aim to get a job somewhere in Europe? Thanks in advance !

Hi nzecon, thanks for your suggestion. The result of econphd.net (all economics) ranking was put here. By the way, I am not sure to consider this rank because the rank of HEC Paris is very very low at 227th while this school has high reputation in Business area. 76 UC Louvain - Belgium 139 KU Leuven - Belgium 147 AARHUS School of Business - Denmark 156 Norwegian School of Economic and Business Administration 190 HEC Montreal - Canada (Not Europe http://www.www.urch.com/forums/../images/smilies/tongue.gif)

Hi, :D I did apply PhD job to many schools in Europe. However, I cannot rank my choices bcoz I cannot find a good ranking source for European schools. Can you pls help me on this matter? Below is the list - Norwegian School of Economic and Business Administration - UC Louvain - Belgium (Business) - KU Leuven - Belgium (Econ) - AARHUS School of Business - Denmark - HEC Montreal - Canada (Not Europe :p) The field of my study is related to Management Science but considering all business fields is also very helpful. Comments on any aspects (such as campus/country) are highly welcome. Thank you so much for your advice !! PS. I was accepted in Tilburg but in MPhil with partial funding because my previous study does not fit the PhD. I already withdrew this choice. :(

Hi truongdracula I think your essay is good. Your reasons are clear. I have some points below - a private transportations - the example that you said about 1 million should be changed ... may give a comparison of capability to serve people of each type - use 'and' for '&' ... and use ... 'or' for '/' This is just my comments. Hi nipureddy .... I think to write more 300 words ... around 350 words is better
