snickers Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Which offer are you going to accept? Well, I am still waiting to hear from one specific school. So, my decision will be based upon that. I may decline some offers even before that, but it's too early now. I will definitely post here once I inform the schools first. It looks like this your first post :) Welcome. Would you mind telling us about a little about your acceptances? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you mind telling us about a little about your acceptances? :) Thanks. Well, congratulations on your four acceptances and 7 interviews. You must have a very solid profile. Out of the 8 schools that i applied to, I heard only from one (Texas A&M). Of course, it was a rejection. I applied to Minnesota as well but I haven't heard anything from them. I emailed them last Friday when i saw a couple of interviews on GC, they told me to hold out hope. So, that's why i asked you about your decision. If you decide not to attend Minnestoa, please let them now right away. I come from a poverty stricken and politically unstable country. So hope has been part of my entire life.

Even though I haven't made a decision as to which school I am headed to, I did politely decline offers from 2 schools. Hope you hear from either or both of them :) Good luck!

My 4 admits have all been in good school but not in the top 10 or anything. There are many others on this forum with better profiles and better admits :) Don't worry about all that now! What is important is how much we can learn and accomplish in the next 4-5 years! I really hope you get the school of your choice.

The only ranking of OM programs that I know of is USNEWS Production/Operations and that is an MBA ranking. Do you guys know of a PhD ranking for OM?

The only ranking of OM programs that I know of is USNEWS Production/Operations and that is an MBA ranking. Do you guys know of a PhD ranking for OM? This isn't the most ideal ranking as it does not take into account department size but it's a good indication of the research productivity. Search by Journal, University, Author and Article - Naveen Jindal School of Management - The UTD Top 100 Business School Research Rankings Choose the year and the journals to get a ranking! P.S. : Even though it's by UTD, the info is publicly available and hence, this is considered to be a fair indicator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only ranking of OM programs that I know of is USNEWS Production/Operations and that is an MBA ranking. Do you guys know of a PhD ranking for OM? The only relevant ranking criterion is past placement which is a strong predictor of future placement. All you need to do is to look at top 10-20 schools and see where faculties in your area of interest are coming from (or look at entire placement history which is often not available easily). You will see that school which are seemingly productive, have good brand recognition etc. often have very poor placement. So many any other rankings (e.g., paper or citation counts) are often misleading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many any other rankings (e.g., paper or citation counts) are often misleading. Placements are important but I wouldn't say they are the only relevant criterion. 1. Wharton, Harvard, Stern, etc etc hire from each other. So, for those not in the top 5, it's that much harder to get placed well. 2. Most profs in Columbia and Stanford do not get tenure even after 5-6 years. So, does being placed in Stanford matter that much? 3. Irrespective of where we are placed, research productivity is key to a successful career. So, I guess my point is placements are important but not the be-all and end-all of live!

myself Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 1. Wharton, Harvard, Stern, etc etc hire from each other. So, for those not in the top 5, it's that much harder to get placed well. Exactly my point: this is why past placement matters so much! 2. Most profs in Columbia and Stanford do not get tenure even after 5-6 years. So, does being placed in Stanford matter that much? Yes, it does! Where do people go if they are not tenured at Stanford? Another top 10-20 school. But if you don't get tenure at a top-20 school then you fall much-much further down. 3. Irrespective of where we are placed, research productivity is key to a successful career. And a good PhD program does exactly this: it teaches you to be productive. That is the big difference. This is why top PhD program places people well. Not because Stanford habitually hires from MIT etc. but because MIT is good at producing productive people.
