am planning on applying to Strategy PhD programs for Fall 2010; but I'm even debating whether or not I will be admitted to any programs (yet alone anything in top 20). I would GREATLY appreciate it if you could honestly evaluate my profile:
Age: 26
Nationality: Turkish
GMAT: 750
Undergrad GPA: 3.1 - BS in Finance. GPA lower than would like it to be, but I was a scholarship NCAA D-1 student-athlete with not much time to study.
Graduate GPA: 3.4 - MBA in Strategy & Finance. Top 30 b-school. (Top grades for strategy & economics courses).
Research Exp: Paid Research Assistant for INSEAD PhD at b-school for Operations Management Strategy.
Work Experience: MBA Summer Associate @ Goldman Sachs in New York.
Letters of Rec: 3 very good LORs (INSEAD PhD, Stanford PhD, Cornell PhD). All b-school professors in Strategy, Economics, and Operations Management.
Do I have a shot of getting into any Strategy PhD programs? If so, which programs should I target? Any advice going forward between now and January? Any and all feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, and good luck to everyone!
