For all Fall 2005 PhD applicants:
I was hoping we could use this thread to begin a discussion of everyone’s experience with the application process. I think we could all benefit from an on-line support group to help us through the turbulence of the next few months. Hopefully we will be able to compile some information that will make the process simpler for future applicants.
On a personal note, I am applying to PhD programs in Quantitative Marketing. I’ve made application to 9 schools (Duke, UNC, Ohio State, Chicago, Northwestern, UT Dallas, Penn, U of Mich., & Yale). I’ll be shipping off the last of my application materials later today. My background is as follows:
Bachelors Degree in Economics
MBA
Masters Degree in Statistics
720 GMAT
2+ years work experience as a senior analyst for a national CPG firm
Thus far, I have found the Application process to be incredibly time consuming. I was surprised by how long it took to write my personal statement (a 2 page essay shouldn’t be that difficult). Although I am relieved to have my applications finished, the prospect of having to wait three months to find out where (if anywhere) I will be heading is extremely stressful.
I look forward to hearing how this process has progressed for the rest of you

Hi!
You sound like a stronger candidate than myself! I'm also applying to Quantitative marketing, 13 schools(wharton, hbs, sloan, kellogg, stanford, stern, columbia, u mich, yale, cornell, ucla, haas, and u. chicago).
I'm finishing up with 3 left. hoping to wrap up this weekend. But yes, I agree with you. It is taking a tremendous amount of time! I took the week off during thanksgiving doing preparations for applications(registering, looking at requirements, making package for recommenders, etc...), and writing preliminary SOPs. Then I took all of x-mas/new year week doing the bulk of applications
my background:
GRE: 800 q, 740 a, 530 v(non native english speaker)
GMAT: 690(again, non-native, i'm using my GRE)
B.S. in EE/CS from top tier university(lack laster GPA)
founded my own company while in college, worked 2 years
my only selling point is that I've had RA-ships with top marketing professors this year, and I've had contact with a number of them.
Good luck all!

I'm still in the midst of getting my apps together, trying to track my last recommender (I know, last minute is bad!). I have been crafting my SOP the last month or so, though.
I'm curious, Tunape, did you decide to go with GRE vs GMAT based on percentiles alone? Do you know if adcomms use some kind of conversion formula? I kind of get the impression that there may be a bias towards the GMAT with b-schools, even if they accept both. I'm looking at Tier II and III, so they may not be as picky.
I am a native speaker with stronger verbal than math (I envy you math wizards!), and I'm trying to decide which scores to send.
GRE 730q 710v 4.0aw
GMAT 680 (40v 42q) 5.5aw
I'm retaking the GMAT next Friday in a final attempt to improve.

Question for the group: I completed all of my applications a couple of weeks ago, but have only received confirmation that they are complete from three schools? Is this consistent with everyone’s experience?
