Phd in Organizational Behavior - advice !

by portugabel » Tue Dec 09, 2008 6:52 am
Hi,

I am a 29 year old professional and have been working for 6 years, 4.5 years in the banking industry and 1.5 year in a Human Capital consulting role.

I decided recently to go further with my studies and pursue a PhD in Organizational Behavior (concentration of Management most of the times) in the USA.

I have taken my TOEFL, my GMAT and have completed my application to 8 universities in the USA (from MSU to Illinois through Indiana and others). I have scored 650 in my GMAT (47Q, 34V) and have what I believe is a strong experience.

Does anyone have an experience with PhD (in Management and/or OB)applications, admissions, GMAT scores? What is my chance of getting admitted in one of thoses programs or even in lower ranked one? Then which one should I apply to?

Thanks all for your input !

You have a pretty solid profile. You should be fine for the programs you mentioned as long as you can clearly articulate how an MBA fits in with your current degrees and what you plan to do in the future.
