Hey friendzzzz I'm just curious if it's a bad idea to write a little bit about some research stuff in an area of concentration that seems not that much related to accounting? :watermelon::peach::strawberry:

Looking for advice as I try to finish up my SOP and begin applying. My goals are to land at a mid level research university where I can teach maybe 1 class a semester. Female applicant if that makes a difference. undergrad: 3.78 accounting and finance honors in each but no research cpa licensed gmat 750 q48 v45 Classes: elementary calculus, econometrics, business statistics, lots of finance classes using regression and modeling CAPM stuff self study: mit single and multi variable calculus LORs: 1 confirmed from a professor not heavy into research but has a few published articles super enthusiastic so hopefully a great letter, 1 from a lecturer who has took some phd level classes, last waiting on a reply from a research heavy professor if he agrees it would be an ok letter not great otherwise it will be from a former professor who did research in another field but stepped down from tenure to pursue teaching full time but who knows me very well. Im interested in financial and managerial stuff so wanting to find a school with a little of both. Topics of interest include earnings management and financial disclosure. List of schools are: penn state indiana pittsburg florida cornell osu? mich state need some more suggestions for schools since I want to apply broadly but I'm having trouble deciding on more. Thanks
