  1. Hi, I am 46 years and want to apply for PhD in Strategy. I have had experience in Corporate Strategy as well as in academic think tank institutes. I have also worked with a top Strategy professor as part of the think tank group. Will my age be considered as a challenge in my PhD application? What would be the best way to overcome that? I am posting in this group to get more reliable advice. Officially no university can discriminate on age. I want to prepare an application that may address their concern, if any. Thank you, Regards Gowrishankar
  2. Can anyone please tell how to solve age group based questions? For example in a group some people are 30 years old or younger. Some are 50 years old or older. How many are aged between 30 and 50? I encountered a similar question on my GRE.
  3. Hi, I have this concern. I am 30 and studied in a unknown university in developing country. I want to apply for a masters (MBA, MPP, MPA) in USA. I have a good GPA, high GRE (I even take the GMAT and scored high), high TOEFL, nice letters, work experience, but the only problem I have is the age. Adcoms use to consider this? Is it really important for a masters? Please, I am really worried about this because I don't want to feel I just lost my once-in-a-lifetime chance. Thanks!
  4. Hi Friends, Firstly, I would like to thank all the people who contribute to this forum. I have just joined this forum and I am glad that I did. This place has a tremendous database of knowledge that is shared by a set of highly talented intellectuals. So thanks again. I am currently planning to apply for admissions to PhD in business at top 20 schools. My profile is as follows: Education: M.S in Mechanical Engineering, University of Texas Experience: 12 years in multiple industries ( aerospace, oil and gas, consulting and project management) age: 34 I am just wondering whether I am too old to be starting a PhD and will my age affect my admission chances? Your replies and suggestions are much appreciated.
  5. After months of enjoying insights/comments on this forum, I finally got my GRE results so I’ve decided to post my profile for the fall 2013 applications cycle to Strategy programs. A PhD has always been in the plan, but plans can take interesting and prolonged turns, so here’s hoping I’m not too late arriving! Any suggestions you have on what I can do to strengthen my profile over the next few months are greatly appreciated! Demographics: female, 34 years old (ouch!) UGrad: Business, 3.86 GPA, small Canadian University that has a strong business program (top 5% of grad class). Grad: M.A. International Affairs, 3.97 GPA, a medal and some other honors, a large Canadian University. Math: Calculus (B), Statistics (A+), and sadly that’s where it ends! GRE: 165 V (95 %ile), 165 Q (92 %ile), 5.5 AWA (96 %ile) LORs: Very enthusiastic one from a widely published marketing professor; another enthusiastic one from International Affairs professor; and can easily get one from my undergrad to balance out. Conference Presentations/Pubs: Presentation at Administrative Sciences Association of Canada Conference (peer-reviewed process); co-author with a professor on a case study during my undergrad (Topic: management information systems). Work Experience: P&G (after undergrad); public sector (after grad school), incl. 5 yrs as a Statistician in a public sub-national statistical agency. Research Interest: Very broadly: non-market strategy. Initially my experience/interests draws me to firm strategies in different regulatory and stakeholder environments; I’ve spent most of the last 8 yrs in a place where multibillion dollar mining giants rise and fall on their ability to develop and execute winning non-market strategies. I still have a lot of reading to do to narrow focus but I’m very drawn to institutional and PPE perspectives, and definitely lean towards the empirical. Schools*: Wharton, Berkeley, Minnesota, Duke, Maryland, Northwestern *schools are very preliminary and in no particular order, identified based on the presence of profs in my interest area, and the list will grow as I read more. Concerns: AGE: can’t do much but address it head on in my SOPs to demonstrate my resolve and passion; will likely mitigate by avoiding some schools that are likely to frown at the age. MATH: clearly my transcripts are lacking in math courses; hoping that some of that is made up by the stats practical experience I have (sampling methodology, survey development and operations – incl. business/employee surveys with >90% response rates, etc.); a little disappointed in my GRE Quant score since I was testing around 167-168 on the practice tests but not sure if it’s worth re-writing since I live thousands of miles away from any testing centre. Is it worth my while to enroll in distance math courses (algebra, real analysis)? Welcome any suggestions/questions.
  6. I am 43 and have worked in industry for 20+ years. I have a MS in Mass Comm and an MBA. I have taught at the college level as a Visiting Professor at Oklahoma State University for the past 4 years. I know without a PhD my career path in academia is limited. I love teaching but am really interested in doing marketing research. Obviously the next step is a PhD, but I fear my age puts me at a huge disadvantage. I know there is a shortage of business professors, but wonder if I'm getting in the game too late. If I do decide to go this route, I likely wouldn't start a program until 2011 or 2012, which means I would be 46 or 47 by time I complete the terminal degree. Who would hire an almost 50 year old new PhD? Would love some insight to help me decide if I REALLY want to devote the effort. Thanks!
