Fall 2026 Business PhD Applicants

[hopefully12345]

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there's a new thread for those applying this cycle! (for fall 2026 entry)

 

As for me -- Hi! I'm planning on applying to ~20 schools (a mix of social science and business PhD programs), all in US. 

If you're also applying this cycle, feel free to leave a post here! Also if there's a Discord group -- it would be great if you could share it

I think business research is most interesting when you can connect it to what actually happens in the real world. Starting and running a company involves a lot of things that aren’t always obvious from a purely academic perspective. I was looking into company registration in Ukraine and came across this guide: https://en.clc.co.ua/registration-of-a-limited-liability-company-llc/ . It was interesting to see how the process works in practice and how much the legal structure can matter from the very beginning. Good luck to everyone applying for the Fall 2026 Business PhD!

I’m applying this cycle as well! I’m also interested in connecting with others who are applying to PhD programs in the US. A Discord or group chat would be really helpful for sharing timelines, application tips, and supporting each other through the process. Good luck to everyone applying this fall! 🎓
