  1. Hi, First of thank you for the reply, I understand how my post seems extremely vague and I apologies for that. You are right and I am just about 3 weeks into the whole process to look for programs and prep for the GRE. 1) I absolutely see what you are saying and I am fairly confident I will be able to score in the 90th percentile in the official exam. (The requirement most of the programs have laid out). 2) As for research experience, I unfortunately have not been published. The PG Diploma had us write thesis based research papers. Although maybe not journal worthy I have written papers on complex topics at the intersection of multiple disciplines. No papers directly related to supply chains, but I have written a research paper about language and how it shapes out perception of the environment based on rhetorical principles 3) As for my motivation to want to work in academia vs industry is that I specifically want to research - - How we can shift current supply chains to a more sustainable crucial model to reduce waste and the carbon footprint of products - How can they be implemented in developing nations as they move towards higher consumption over the next decade - How can we get the support of the various stakeholders in the value chain to give up short term profits for long term environmental and SC sustainability I should have added this from the start. 4) This I had no clue about 5) The programs are a mix of both ranking based on research output and what the departments are researching. All these programs have professors SC/Ops department researching either circular/sustainable SC/OP's or topics related to sustainability and business. 6) Maybe research proposal is not the most accurate term, but all of them require a motivation letter/SOP stating why I want to be at that school and what I want to do. This would require to at least briefly describe what I want to work on in addition to the why. Again I really do appreciate you taking the time to reply, especially given how my post, looking back, seems not very serious or well thought out. Any guidance would be appreciated as I clearly am not sure of what I should be doing

I want to pursue a career in academic research specifically in circular supply chains. Questions or concerns you have about your profile? Assuming I have good/great letters and a solid research proposal What would be a good path for me to make a competitive profile for the following programs – Cornell University (Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management (incl. Dyson)) Duke University (The Fuqua School of Business) Harvard University (Harvard Business School) Indiana University at Bloomington (Kelley School of Business) Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) (Sloan School of Management) Northwestern University (Kellogg School of Management) University of California at Los Angeles (Anderson School of Management) University of Michigan at Ann Arbor (Ross School of Business) University of Minnesota at Twin Cities (Carlson School of Management) University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Kenan-Flagler Business School) University of Southern California (Marshall School of Business (incl.
