Dear Phd guy,

Your academic profile is strong, which is an advantage in PhD admissions. As I posted previously, your research focus for your dissertation will be an important part of your application. Consequently, you need to identify and target programs where you can work with faculty who have expertise in your intended research area. Perhaps research who has published recently in your intended focus as a place to start in terms of potential programs? You might also then research where those authors received their PhD's as another source of potential programs. PhD admissions is quite different from MBA, so I encourage you to research the PhD admissions process to ensure you present your background effectively.

Good luck,
Lisa

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
