  1. Hey BrazilianPhD! Thanks for the feedback. Having read your posts here and in gmatclub forum, I consider you a role model and your story an inspiration.
  2. Thank you for the feedback! My current school is in a small country outside of US but has one or two professors with PhDs from US Top 10. Can't say that leter writers have a lot of articles in top US journals right now, may be in the future...
  3. Hi, Planning to apply to PhD in Accounting after 20 years in accounting with major oil & gas companies. Have been postponing PhD for long time, but now decided to leave the comfort zone and get into academia for the love of research and intellectual challenge. Research interests include corporate governance & controls (e.g. budgeting, accounting fraud, information asymmetry) and influenced by work experience Test Scores (GMAT/GRE): GMAT 730 (Q50 / V40) Undegrad GPA: 4.0 (Econ; outside of US, top of the class), graduated 20 years ago Graduate GPA: 2.8 (3.3 second year / 4.0 major in Finance, MBA Top 75 US) graduated 20 years ago Prof.certification: CMA (with gold medal for highest score) obtained 10 years ago Research Experience: N/A Teaching Experience: Currently TA in accounting and finance; taught couple of under- and graduate level courses Work Experience: as mentioned above, managerial positions in accounting and finance with Fortune 100 companies Concentration Applying to: Accounting (Managerial & Financial / Behavioral & Archival) Number of programs planned to apply to: 10-20 Dream Schools: Rotman / INSEAD / MSU Broad Letter Writers: Accounting and finance professors currently TA'ing. Questions or concerns you have about your profile? As I understand age will be a major concern, so would appreciate your help with the list of schools. Should I look only outside of Top 50? Should I shoot for GMAT 750+ to improve profile? Any additional specific questions you may have: Will it make a difference if full funding to be provided by a sponsor?
