Hi Everyone, I got admitted to a PhD Program in OB(micro) for the Fall 2018 intake. I was wondering what advice people have in terms of preparing for the program? Is there anything you would have done before you started the program now that you are in the program? I have heard that its important to brush up on statistics and get familiar with structured equation modelling and multi-level. Can someone suggest good resources for brushing up on stats especially within the micro OB context? I was also told that its important to get familiar with a statistical software. I have used STATA before but my hunch is that most OB people don't use STATA. Is it worthwhile spending time to get comfortable with R or is it better to stick to SPSS? I was told by my program coordinator that the more ready I am in terms of stats and current issues in OB-research, the earlier I can get started on projects with faculty members. Thanks!

I have a question about working as an RA without being a student at a program. Is it common for programs to hire full-time RA's to work with faculty? Do such programs also help in sponsoring a visa for those applicants who don't have a visa to work in the US?

Thanks! It's been 2 months since application deadline!

Has anyone applied to and heard from the M&O PhD Program at Michigan Ross?
