Interesting and informative !

1. But it is the duty of the contemporaries to bring them due recognition and appreciation when they live. 2. D. 3. A B and C Look forward to the answers.

Also, should I give another shot at GRE ...I think I could do better than the 157 in verbal...is it worth it if I can stretch my score to 325 ?

Thanks for the comment @Kensho. I was only going by what's given on the INSEAD website, most definitely outside US , INSEAD is one of the most sought after business PhD. programs.

Also , I can broadly put my research interests into 3 categories 1. Ethics 2. Negotiations 3. Family Business. Now @Indus mentioned INSEAD has a family business center but when I look at their placements , I am really not motivated to apply there. Do you know of places where they have Ethics ( Harvard, Wharton from what I know ) , Negotiations ( Kellogg) or Family Business Research Center ( INSEAD and McGill I just found out ). Thanks !!!

Thanks a lot for the advice guys . I will apply more widely and probably dig a little deeper into my research interests.

Would really appreciate a reply ??

Hi Everyone, I wanted a reality check on my prospects for a PhD in Organizational Behavior Age : 28 Education : UG : India, Engineering (Top 10 not IITs) 67% Exp : Working in IT consulting for a couple of years, started a non profit initiative in India Masters : MBA from Korea ( Among the Top 3 Schools here, internationally quite well known) GPA : (3.73 out of 4.2) Currently : Working in a Korean Conglomerate in Global Sales division GRE : QA 163, Verbal 157. TOEFL : 113 Research : Did my thesis in marketing . Have published 2 papers till now, 1 in an International peer reviewed journal ( C level though) on "Internationalization of family firms in japan" , 1 in Indian marketing journal ( peer reviewed) Initially, was inclined towards marketing , but as i started delving more into topics that interest me, I finally veered towards OB. My Interest are : Internationalization, Negotiations, Ethics, Family firms ( And their permutations and combinations) I am trying my best to publish another paper in a peer reviewed journal. But that would at best be in a C level journal. I will have 2 years of International experience ( in Korea) before I start my PhD. As of now I am thinking of applying to : Harvard, NorthWestern, USC, Penn State, Toronto, UBC and Western Ontario. What do you think about my chances? And it would be great if you guys could suggest departments that are doing research relevant to my interests . Thanks a tonne !!
