Accounting PhD

[accountingphdhopeful]

I've applied for a bunch of Accounting PhD programs and I can't seem to find anyone on this forum who has applied for an Accounting PhD as well. I've heard about the Accounting PhD shortage, is it REALLY that scarce?

Per Urch.com

here is the list of schools where people have heard anything:

Wisconsin, Alabama, Texas AM, Harvard, Illinois, Duke, Cornell, Emory, South Carolina, WUSTL Olin, UT-Austin, UNC, Missouri, Arizona, NYU, Bentley, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, Iowa, Georgia Tech, Michigan, Yale, Stanford, Michigan, MIT, Berkley, Arkansas, Kansas, USC, Southern Florida, Chicago, Indiana, Central Florida, Florida State, Temple, Northwestern, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Boston University, and UMASS.

I've applied to two of these, I've only heard from one for what its worth.

I know the assistant dean at UT-Austin and he confirmed to me that 2 Accounting offers had been made and they were looking for 2 more, so if you have not heard from them it is unlikely they are still an option.
