My endgame is to be a tenured professor at UW, so when looking into grad schools I met with a bunch of my old professors, and they gave me a list of schools for which going to would increase my likelihood of getting a job at UW after getting my PhD. And UMD was a consensus top 5. I didn't even know it existed before they discussed it with me lol.What made you choose a school out there
How long of a gap year did you have before attending UMD?My endgame is to be a tenured professor at UW, so when looking into grad schools I met with a bunch of my old professors, and they gave me a list of schools for which going to would increase my likelihood of getting a job at UW after getting my PhD.

About four years. I was in industry for a couple of years before I realized that even a Fortune 50 company didn't really understand their marketing strategy. So I started volunteering a couple hours a week to get better insight into what real marketing research is, and really dug the psychology behind it all.How long of a gap year did you have before attending UMD?

EDIT: but for what it's worth, my work experience was seen as a disadvantage from the top schools because it suggested that I had a more managerial, rather than theoretical mindset (which is true). If anyone is interested in business PhDs, I'm happy to share more insight.

@DocWatson
Can you speak more on what you have learned being a PHd program for Marketing vs the experience you have already gain during your gap years?
What can you could bring to a company Fortune 500 or Start Up after obtaining your degree?
To all my folks that started or finished up graduate school already, how much did you guys freak out beforehand? I'm kinda mild manner & don't remember feeling like this since before I was getting ready to start undergrad lol.
Nice ! Goodluck to you as well. Where are you getting your MBA from?@BeezyGotSolewill be graduating Spring 2019 too (if I stick with the curriculum) for MBA. Good luck bro
