Welcome! This is a stressful time. You should definitely get an admit from that many interviews, but interview costs are lower, so maybe schools are giving out more. I don't know about Yale's yield...

I'm sure this will vary. For most, I would guess that you are expected to be there in person, but they will be flexible. We had a first year come in this past year with visa issues. Everything was...

Congratulations on where you are. My wife was pregnant with our first when I started my PhD and we had kids the second summer and third summer. So 3 kids in the first 3 years. It was hard, but...

I agree with the above. Both are great options and where you will do best depends on how well interests align with potential dissertation chairs along with factors like location preference, how well...

Congratulations! Those are some great choices. I think the choice is between BC and Minnesota. Maryland is good, but doesn't have as large of a faculty and doesn't have as good of a record of...

I'm in accounting, so my perception might not be perfect for finance, but I would choose Booth and it's not close. A big part of that perception is because Chicago controls JAR, which is a top 3...

This very well may be true for USC. I don't have any insight into what they are doing. However, I know that it isn't rare for programs to start looking at applications before the deadline, especially...

This question definitely has been asked before, but the search function on here isn't great. I remember that a user named Hedgequant wrote about 2 very different experiences in finance interviews a...

I never actually worked in advisory, but it seems like a more interesting option than the other two. For an internship, it doesn't matter much. I would do what you think is most interesting.

It looks like you are off to a good start. Are you doing your MAcc at the same school going from Spring 2021 - Fall 2021?

I went straight through undergrad, to a MAcc and on to a PhD. I think it...

I'm happy to hear that they are behind you. I wasn't trying to judge or discourage in any way, just wanted to provide relevant information.

Connections do matter quite a bit. Top Australian...

I'm in a different field, so I can't comment too much on your chances. I have seen people with low UG GPAs get into top 10-15 schools. Your experience since undergrad looks great, but I would...

It would be really weird for a professor to reach out with something that positive and not mean it.

For accounting, there are some outside options, but you don't see it too often. I've known people that have placed in banks and other types of jobs that don't really require a PhD. You can look at...
