ErcW Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 Was taking a look around pervious year's forums and wanted to get this started this year. Where is everyone planning to apply/how many programs? I am planning to apply to Marketing programs at the following: Harvard, UC Berkeley, Cornell, NYU, UCLA, UCSD Still figuring out the rest.. and need to get started on these applications soon!
PhD-hopeful Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 Hey there! I am applying to PhD programs, but for management / OB (depending on school). I will apply to around 10, but planning to apply to Harvard, Wharton, Duke, WashU Olin, UNC, and a few others as well. Good luck!

I decided to go with 15 schools, I'm done with the first 4 applications and trying to submit a couple more this weekend. This is a hard process!

I opted to apply to just 10 this year -- I've got 6 applications down, 4 to go! Best of luck this weekend and as we approach the December 15 deadline. How is your application process going so far?

phd4lyf Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 Hi guys! I'm applying to business school doctoral programs right now too. I have no idea how competitive it's going to be haha. How's it going for you guys? I'm looking at OB and Strategy programs.

I haven't heard anything yet from the submitted applications, but I suppose that is to be expected! How is it going for you so far?
phd4lyf Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 I’m applying to 22 schools because I heard that this year is going to be quite competitive. 10 down, 12 to go!

That's a lot of statements of purpose! Nice, good luck with the remaining 12! Agreed, I expect it will be a competitive year. I am mentally preparing to be rejected by all 10 I apply to and plan to apply again next year. Which schools do you think are the best fit for your research interests?

I connect with the research at all the schools I’m applying to but perhaps more with HBS, Berkeley, Kellogg, MIT. What are your top choices?

My top choices are UPenn and CMU, but I would be excited to get in anywhere this year.

It's been tough editing my SOPs for each school and super tedious getting all the applications themselves done, but I'm glad we're almost there!

I really hope we all get accepted to our top choices!

PhD-hopeful Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Wishing everyone luck and strength as we approach the December 31 deadlines! Soon, this part of the process will be over. ?
YCJ Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Yay! Thanks for making this thread. I've applied to 14 schools and have one more left to go..! I'm so nervous about the interview already... that is, if I were to be invited for interviews. Good luck to those who are finishing up the applications!
GREBlaster9000 Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 Hi all! Wanted to introduce myself, as I'm applying to a smattering of b-school PhDs this cycle (in addition to some social psych programs). Ended up submitting applications to a mix of marketing / OB / decision sciences programs at U-Chicago, Penn, NYU, Columbia, Stanford, Harvard and Yale, plus six social psych programs, 13 applications in total. No news yet of course, but best of luck to everyone as we continue to wait! We're all expecting timelines to be substantially delayed this cycle due to COVID, right?

I haven't heard anything about delays in reviewing applications (just that some programs will not be accepting as many students as usual). I have not heard anything yet personally. It looks like HBS sent out OB interviews yesterday.
doubledirtychai Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Does anyone know if the OB interviews from HBS were for micro or macro?
IWannaBeAPhD Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Hi all! CB Marketing applicant here. Does anyone know why the OB interviews seem to be coming out so much sooner than other tracks from the same school?

I also haven't heard anything about delays in admissions decisions! Hopefully we'll be hearing about interviews ASAP!!
