Questions or concerns you have about your profile? 1.Relatively low UGPA. Had worked 3 jobs during undergraduate studies and had some personal issues during my second year :(. However my grade in final year is mostly comprised of A~A+. Wondering if I should mention this in my SOP.

 

2. Lack of experience presenting in conference. Most of my peers seem to have experience in presenting at a major academic conference (e.g. AOM) at least once. I expect to present next year but have nothing to mention about that in my SOP.

 

 

Any additional specific questions you may have: Have no idea what tier of schools I should be targetting. What are my chances in the T20~30 or so programs? I will be applying widely but any idea on what tier of schools I should aim for would really be appreciated. I welcome any comments from non-management researchers as well!

 

Thanks in advance for all the insightful comments!
