Northwestern Kellogg Marketing (CB) PhD 面经 [2018.01.23]

默默攒个人品,记忆不好,随便写写。

Northwestern Kellogg,时间:1.23日02:30 am。在场应该有三四个人,然而屏幕上只显示出了一个prof,而且快出框了,感觉自己对着墙壁说话。

  1. A current paper that interests you.
    这个之前随便准备了篇paper,就说了下。结果说完他们问,那你觉得这文章未来可以继续做什么呢?我就懵了,因为真的没想过这个问题,(没错,就是这么傻呜呜呜),恩了一会儿耿直地说我没想过……他们说没关系,之后想到什么,email他们中任何一位。
  2. 如果现在Amazon联系你,给你所有resource,你想做什么?
    我当时的内心???然后对方又随便说了几句都没反应过来回话,大脑空白状态。
    好不容易回过神来,面试前正好鬼使神差看了一篇quant的Amazon field study paper,就是讲WOM和observational learning不同效果的,于是抓着救命稻草说要不咱做做这个paper的follow-up studies?
    对方说啊,这就是我要问的,什么follow-up studies?你说的这paper只是给了一个foundation,那你要做什么呢?
    于是笨笨的LZ半天说找个moderator?
    对方:嗯,什么moderator?(注意到LZ生无可恋的样子),你能就给出一个hypothesis吗?
    于是我给了一个听上去就没什么营养的假设。
    然后另一个老师问,negative比positive WOM更influential,你觉得是为什么?什么情况下effect会reverse?
    LZ凌乱的内心:我真的对这块一!无!所!知!啊,随便扯了几句,然后对方又说了她的观点。
    一阵尴尬的沉默后,终于结束了这个问题。
  3. 最后是让我问问题,那时候我已经没什么意识了(literally),就一问一答,还又说了一些很傻的话,算了,不提了。

结束前说两周内有结果,然而现在正好两周过去,杳无音讯,怕不是凉了。总之大概凌晨三点左右面完,整个人真的是一脸懵,觉得自己完全暴露了稀缺的智商给对方看,没有当场哭出来已经是我的极限了嗷。

Hi zjq407, I'm Ginger. I've been following your contributions on this forum, and they've been incredibly insightful. I'm at a pivotal moment, deciding between two PhD offers in marketing (CB), and I find myself in need of guidance, especially considering the nuanced differences in the job market that my current advisors might not fully grasp due to their backgrounds.
Given your expertise, I was hoping to connect more directly for your advice. Would it be possible to friend you here on the forum so I can share my details through DM? Your perspective would be invaluable to me as I navigate this decision. Thank you for considering my request!

Also, if you are interested in behavioral research in general and want an easier market, try behavioral accounting. Top behavioral accounting programs (UT Austin, Cornell, UIUC or UPitts) are way more likely to secure a good US research school job for you. You don't even need to have an R&R...

我自己本身专业是acct的,最开始就是因为觉得自己专业有点无聊不喜欢industry,大二开始做cb方面的RA做自己的project什么的。我申请phd只申了15所学校,如果录不到不错的项目,我肯定就乖乖滚回去算账去了,不会再读相关的master或做RA,我也不是很有抱负的那种人(捂脸)
我目前还有两场那些top program中学校的面试没面,虽然被录的概率不高,打算等最后结果出来再综合看一下w 我之前有个带过我做RA美国T10项目毕业的中国老师也是和我说,要么就读最好的private school的项目,否则工作真的很难找。感觉竞争真的很大(。)
谢谢!!

What I heard about OT is--"you either get into top places or get nowhere". It's an elite club game.
