taxphd0987 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Hi, I'm preparing for a phd in tax and am wondering if it's worth getting a second masters at JHU. I'm planning to finish it within a year (2014-2015) as a full-time student while applying to phd programs for the summer of 2015. I do hold a masters degree in business administration but am considering JHU for the following reasons: phd prep, to see what I will be really getting into for the next five years, get better recommendations, etc. I actually did not considering getting a phd during my first masters thus am considering JHU. Below are my credentials: - BA in Econ with 3.6 GPA from a prestigious liberal arts college (took up to linear algebra) - MA in International Management with 3.8/4.3 GPA from a prestigious school abroad - CPA, 3.5 years of exp at a public acct firm - am a little worried about getting good recommendations - high 600s GMAT (am planning to take it again soon) Essentially, I'm debating whether to pursue a 2nd masters for admissions to better phd programs or gain another year of work experience and leave the firm as a manager rather than a senior associate. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
