Prestige among academics? Yes. 10000 citations, SMJ AE, SMS ES, not too old is an academic star for sure, and probably someone who is well known and has open access in strategy circles. Prestige among practitioners? Maybe if they have an HBR or two and do consulting/etc. Prestige among lay people? Maybe, but only if we are talking a top school. Prestige among students? Just kidding who cares. -
That 100% depends on the department. Plenty of macro departments out there focused on the Econ side of things.
-
Again, sure, sort of, even if an A across top schools is generally an A, but this only introduces more subjectivity into the picture. Some schools would like you to think it really is about quantity vs quality, but in reality is quantity vs. quantity AND quality.

I completely understand your point, and it’s certainly a fair one on the surface, although placement is a much more complex issue than this implies, and there is an issue of aggregating complex dynamics to a simplified comparable measure. I was speaking about direct research rankings, it even those are much more complicated than it would seem.

In my world (strategy), there are really clear top 3 schools (Wharton, INSEAD, HBS), then there are a few more that are probably rounding out top 10 depending on how stable you're talking (Bocconi, Minnesota, Duke, LBS, Toronto, NYU, and Michigan), but really #4-#20 are very very close and the differences become more about year to year dynamics, luck, specific research streams and literatures where certain schools are perhaps a better fit than others
-
very subjective indeed, and too focused on brand/prestige
-
-apply broadly - marketing and strategy and marketing strategy are all kinda of sort of very different fields, so be careful about how you position yourself for each program

IMHO: It has nothing to do with "visa issues" and everything to do with different approaches to PhD education, research, and accreditation. There is a reason why PhD students from top European schools where the PhD programs are structured similarly to US R1 schools get jobs at top US schools all the time. I'm talking about INSEAD, LBS, Bocconi, HEC Paris, etc... Some others as well..

take both, use the one with a better score.

Business casual is fine. Slacks, jacket, collared shirt. Most likely nobody cares.

2018 Ph.D. Business Administration Sweat Thread

It sounds like they've made offers and are waiting to hear back, while you're likely on the waitlist, considering that April 15th is the formal agreement deadline. If someone rejects sooner, you may get a spot before then. Good luck. -
If you are 100% sure, there is no reason not to do it. This makes the PhD coordinator's job easier, and may in fact improve your chances if, for example, they are considering two candidates and not sure which one will accept, which is a very common problem that we face in our program all the time.

Yeah if you're already admitted, you can just explain your situation, no big deal at all based on my own experiences.

this has been my experience as well.

Wharton, Kellogg, Kenan-Flagler, Tepper PhD Management
doingfine replied to youngmonet's topic in PhD in Business
It's a great program. In my personal experience, if you do a PhD in a program like that (or really any top 10ish program), your outcome will depend much more on your abilities, persistence, and academic hustle (including managing your faculty/advisors) than the program itself.
