Hello,

I was wondering if I can get my profile evaluated by a current accounting phd and to get some advice on what schools I should be aiming for.

1. Undergrad:
B.S. Chemistry-Business, Magna cum Laude
3.8 GPA
Recipient of the Excellence in Chemistry-Business Award – highest GPA in major

2. Grad:
M.B.A. with concentrations in accounting & fincance
G.P.A. 4.0
Recipient of the Outstanding Graduate Student Award – Economics/Finance Department

3. Test scores:
700+ GMAT

4. Research experience:
3 academic presentations; One of which was given at the International Academic Business Conference
Co-author to all three research papers/presentations along with PhD faculty

5. Work experience
1 year Graduate Teaching Assistant
2 years staff accountant/assistant to the controller

6. Research interests: Accounting education, inefficiencies of SMEs, convergence of GAAP & IFRS

7. Other:
- Great LoRs
- Math courses: Calculus I & Statistics I -- definitely lacking in this department—hopefully GMAT score and chemistry background can negate this
- Licensed CMA

What tier of schools should I focus on? Will I be able to get into mid-tier schools? Is my profile competitive?
Thank you so much! Any advice would be appreciated.
