Hello Everyone,
I'm planning to apply for a PhD program in Marketing this coming Fall. I want to apply to top consumer behavior programs, although I'm worried about being accepted. I am currently at a top 30ish public business school in the US majoring in Marketing and Supply Chain. I have a GMAT score of 710 (44Q 42V), although I'm planning to retake that in March, as I ran out of time on Quant on my first attempt. I am working on an undergraduate thesis in the CB field, and have worked for the past year as a marketing behavioral research assistant. I also think that I have some very strong recommendations. I also plan on using my summer to take some psychology courses at a local CC, most likely research methods and social psych.
Currently, I would like to attend Duke, Stanford, Wharton, or Kellogg. Are these realistic? Additionally, are there other schools I should be looking into? Finally, what can I do to boost my chances of receiving admission into one of the first four school I mentioned?
Thank you so much!
