Hi frens,
Though I dont post frequently, I do follow the threads in PG.
Let me introduce myself.Am Venkat from chennai.I am a BE and MBA (april 2004), both from university of madras. I am working in a fin services bpo and will be moving to another job soon.
I want to do a Phd to pursue a career in teaching and research.and plan to take the Gmat in oct 2005.
It will be nice if some one could answer the following queries:
1.I have shortlisted 5-6 universities in the US (Apart from NUS and NTU in singapore), outside the top 20 to,partly due to financial aid factor and partly due to my average acads 😞 .
They are:Purdue,Pittsburgh,CMU,Maryland,Kansas,cornell.
Have I missed out on any obvious univ in the same cadre as above ?
2.Will it be enough if I start my prep for Gmat now or should I postpone my Gmat-(I can spend about 2 hrs a day studying)?

I will be writing the SoP later and will need the help of veterans like Simba,Arun and others fot editing it.Hope you guys will chip in.
Ps:I got a Call from IIMC for the FPM program last year but messed up the interview.So decided to gain some workex and try for a PhD abroad.
If anyone else is trying for a PhD,please join in.

cheers
