Math skills required for accounting phd students
Xixixixixixi replied to Xixixixixixi's topic in PhD in Business
Thanks for the advice! I actually haven't taken any course in econometrics before (which is kind of weird as a business student for 5 years). I am currently taking a online econometrics course, hoping to have a slightly better learning experience once the fall semester started lol- 4 replies

Can anyone share some insights on math skills required for archival accounting research? I have been attending summer math camp at my school and found courses like real analysis and optimization difficult. I have never taken these courses before. Wondering if it is necessary to spend more time learning these two courses myself (apparently a summer camp is not enough for me to catch up), or these materials may be more important for students in CIS, OM, etc, and I should focus on research and others? What are some most important math subjects for archival financial accounting research? Thx!

I feel exactly the same. Some schools remain so quiet (or maybe it's just I think they are) -

2018 Ph.D. Business Administration Sweat Thread
Xixixixixixi replied to tm_associate's topic in PhD in Business
Hey guys. Does anyone know the percentage of accounting programs which have campus interviews before they admit students? My situation is really unique because of my visa status. Would it necessarily hurt me if I ask for an alternative interview when a school offers a campus interview?- 261 replies

It's been so quiet after the winter break. just wondering if it is true that most of schools in the US would not have rolling basis for accounting phd programs coz I have submitted most of my schools 2-3 days before the deadline or even on the due date. :hmm:Would this make my applications less favorable? Anyone of you have similar concerns? (Or maybe I'm just overthinking because of this silence lol- 261 replies

Congrats! Good luck on your interview. -
What you said here is true. Preparations that I have done when I wrote my statement of purpose really helped a lot! And yes, they said there will another campus visit in January and I shall hear from them in this week.

Yes. I think the conversation went well, but honestly as an applicant, I can never tell. They asked some general questions such as why UArk and why PhD. Nothing technical.

Thank you for your suggestions on the time management. I did research on the school and their faculty research before applying, and I mentioned the professor whose research fits my interests in the SOP and he happens to be the one that is going interview me. I guess it will be easier for me to prepare with what I have at hand right now.

It's a Skype interview so I guess they just want to have a better idea of who I am and my communication skills. Thank you!

Hey guys. It's my first interview in this application season and I can't believe I received it 5 days after the application deadline. Compared to their previous timeline, I think they started interviews really early this year. Now I am 100% thrilled but worried at the same time since I am in the middle of online applications and don't have enough time to prepare for interviews and read papers these days so I don't know if I can't keep the conversation going once it gets really academic. Any suggestions?

What if recommendation letters aren't submitted on time?
Xixixixixixi replied to Xixixixixixi's topic in PhD in Business
Thanks! BTW, in this late submission of letters situation, if I am rejected, is there anyway to find out whether the reason is the school thinks i'm not qualified or it simply didn't look at my app?- 9 replies

What if recommendation letters aren't submitted on time?
Xixixixixixi replied to Xixixixixixi's topic in PhD in Business
Thank you for your suggestions. My situation is a little bit different here since I also get in touch with professors early in September and kept following-ups until the last day before the deadline. The professor who didn't submit the letter for me was actually really close to me and know me really well (I have done RA and TA for 3 courses with him), and he has always been very accountable... He even sent me an email this morning saying that he is doing his best and revising his letter everyday... This is a really awkward situation for me.- 9 replies

Xixixixixixi replied to Xixixixixixi's topic in PhD in Business
Thanks guys! I will try to relax as much as I can since I can do nothing about it. However, do you think it would be a good idea to ask the programs if this late submission of one letter would affect my application? Or should I just wait and not bother them?- 9 replies

I submitted the online application of some programs in time. However, one of my letter writers hasn't submitted his letter yet and told me letters could come late that then application letter, otherwise the school will specify that they have to submit letters by a certain date. I assume this is true since he seems pretty experienced at being a recommender. However, he didn't submit the letter for the program that says "make sure letters be received by the deadline" in the online application. I'm kinda worried if I'm wasting my efforts and money for this school because of the late submission of a letter. Can anyone share some insights on this? Thx a lot!

How much does writing samples help in Accounting application?
Xixixixixixi replied to Xixixixixixi's topic in PhD in Business
Hi Brazilian PhD, do you mean that if i dont upload a writing sample in the online application, i might get another chance to send it after submitting the online application? -
Thank you BrizilianPhD. I get the gist!

I think when schools ask for PS or SOP alone, it can almost be about the same thing. However, when a school ask for both PS and SOP, how are they different? I wonder what should I write in each of them. Thanks a lot fellas!
