Sub Forum - PhD in Business and Management

What about that?

I am sure there will be a lot of people like me who needs help on doing a PhD. A new forum will help! We need to build it but, it certainly is a good thing to do, isn't it?

I don't know if this would be the right site for it, because I thought most of the top business schools required the GRE for their phd programs. I could be wrong though.

But if you're going to start a phd forum, could you also start a Masters in Financial engineering forum?

Most of them accept both GRE and GMAT, except for MIT Sloan for Operations management (I know it because I did some research on it). I do not know about Masters in Financial Engineering but, why not?

Interesting ideas. Will discuss them with Eric! Ajith/Osirus, do you think that the PhD and Masters in Financial Engineering forums would get a lot of interest? I'm asking this question because I don't know much about these tracks.

I doubt the financial engineering forum would be that popular right now. There are only 20,000 applicants per year for these programs.
