  1. I don't think people are implying you're a villain - just pointing out what the appropriate etiquette is in this situation. You're wasting people's time to satisfy a "kinda" curiosity, and that's iffy at best, IMO.
  2. I agree that the weather should be a minor consideration. But I'm moving from NC to MN for my PhD, so I'm clearly trying to justify my own decision here.
  3. I would probably not let a "slight" difference in placements weigh too heavily in the decision, esp. for a finance PhD, where the job market is not so horrid as in many other fields. If you'll be happier and more productive (and less broke) at the west coast school, that sounds like the winner to me.
  4. For what it's worth, I'm in a similar place to you - finishing up my MA in psychology. I had much better luck with marketing programs than I did social psychology programs. I do have some work experience in market research and a teensy bit of undergrad marketing coursework, but they didn't seem to care about that - it was the background and research experience in the base disciplines that seemed to help push my application up.
  5. I still haven't heard back from two programs - one post interview and one that hasn't contacted me at all. (I also still have a few waitlists, but I'm not feeling much hope toward them.)
