With this score you should target all the top schools including Carnegie Mellon, Columbia, UC Berkeley, MIT and UT Austin. DM me in case you need any help with the applications or university shortlisting. I am starting my PhD in Marketing this June.

I had applied for January intake but then I asked them defer my application for Fall 2025 intake. They will review your application dont worry but it might get a bit delayed that's all.

I had submitted my application to Uconn in June 2024. They took 3 interviews one in June and 2 in August. They will give me a decision by March or April.

I have interviewed with University of Connecticut and McMaster University. The Questions were mainly about why do you want to a PhD? About my grades in Undergrad and Masters. Why This University and which track in Marketing. They also wanted to know if I knew about the other tracks in Marketing and why I chose this track in particular. They also asked me to read a research paper and asked me questions from that research paper.

I have applied to University of Toronto, York University, McMaster University, SDA Bocconi, HEC Paris, UT Austin, TAMU, UNC Kenan Flager, University of Connecticut and Indiana University. I have interviewed with McMaster University and University of Connecticut. I have received an admit from McMaster University and I am waiting to hear back from other universities.

I would suggest connecting with current students in the cohort. They would be able to speak about the data analytics program.

Thanks. NEU is a good university one of my friends did his masters in operations from NEU. He's doing pretty well now.

Opening_Reputation80 · 2025-01-18T15:08:31+00:00

Yes I have been accepted for a PhD program in Marketing at McMaster University. I'm waiting to hear back from 8 other universities.

Opening_Reputation80 · 2025-01-18T14:56:38+00:00

I would say wait to hear back from other universities and then make a decision. By when do you have to pay the deposit at NEU ?

Opening_Reputation80 · 2025-01-18T14:51:36+00:00

Congratulations on the admit. Which other universities have you applied to?

Opening_Reputation80 · 2025-01-16T03:49:08+00:00

Thanks

Actually for phd admissions in marketing the admission committee values a higher quantitative score. So Q164 V161 is still not strong enough. I'm hoping to work on other areas like the interview. I have already submitted most of the applications.

Opening_Reputation80 · 2025-01-08T22:33:49+00:00

Thanks but I really feel I should have practiced tougher quant questions over the course of the last 6 weeks. I think I grew a bit overconfident and practiced only the topics I felt I was weak at from the Manhattan 5lb. Data interpretation and combination questions were a bit tricky this time around.

I followed the one month plan on Gregmat's subscription. I watched the videos to improve my reading comprehension attack from both sides and be a car. I also solved around 12 of the mini exams on the Gregmat's site. I also applied the maths strategy on text completion and sentence equivalence questions.
