Hi, I am writing this post to get guidance on the chances of my success at Phd SE programs in US and canada. - BE in Electronics, Instrumentation and Control - GPA - 7/10 - Work Ex as java devloperand software consultant - 5.5 years in India - GRE 312 - (165 Q, 147 V) - Given few professional presentations in the domain of interest and have written blogs too What kind of Univs should I target i US and Canada? Specificaly i want to ask what are the chance to get through UNC Chapel hill/Charolte and NCSU? Thanks in advance.

hey Asec, I am also PhD Marketing applicant. If I may ask, what all univs u have heard from. I also got a skype interview from CUNY Baruch and they will get back to me by end of the month. Not heard from anyyyyy other. Also, I applied to only 8 :(

Thanks hp, Very less colleges only 8 . SUNY,FSU,UCI,USC,Smeal,UF,BU My grad scores are not that great. Also GRE V score is not gud enough...this discouraged me to appply widely...how bout u..

Hi guys, I got a skype interview mail from CUNY for PhD Marketing? Any tips or guidance? What shud i expect? How long these interviews last? Generally how many people get interview calls Any other thing u want to share? Eagerly waiting for reverts!!! Regards

Hey Sapphire, Many thanks for your revert! If I dont get through this time, I think I will retake GRE in May again. For my scores, Quant is 99%ile but Verbal is only 56%ile I just spent 20 days to prepare for GRE exam. Yeah you are right at 26, I can even think of Masters. In 2013, my efforts would be focussed towards Masters and PHD both. What scares me most is that my Profs will kill me if I ask for another volley of LORs from them (lol) again after few months. I did put quite an effort for my SOP. For me it is a good piece only, but Univs shud like it. Lets see what happens! Congrats for your 1 accepted :) Cheers!
