Research Interest: business and society, corporate social responsibility(ethical, institutional approach, but not instrumental) BA: one of universities in Seoul, Public Administration, GPA: 3.95/4.5 MA: one of three best universities in Seoul, Public Administration, GPA: 4.31/4.5 GRE: V 160, Q 170, W 4.0 TOEFL: 111 Work Experience: Republic of Korean Army 2 years(a mandatory duty, during BA degree) Research Experience: research assistant for 6 months in a project team(not related to CSR.), I expect to finish my MA dissertation next semester. a co-presenter in a domestic conference. Course work: some basic courses in both economics and political science. In fact, PA covers broad subjects as it studies government's work... 1 quant methodology, 1 quali methodology for MA students. Activities: a few voluntary works, many student clubs such as music, sports, and presentation skills. As you can see, I do not have any experience to emphasize. My research interest is focused on the role of business in society. I approached it with a lens of PA students since balancing the power of market has long been a core work of governments. But, I decided to move to the field of business because I now believe a change inside the market,CSR, is better than coercive regulations. 1. Can anyone tell me if I still have a chance to be admitted in spite of insufficient research experience? 2. What schools would you apply to if you were me? I heard PhD in business doesn't require as much work experience as MBA.. but the fact that I haven't even finished MA dissertation makes me hesitate. Thank you very much..!!
