How are ADS Scholars chosen?
The selection of ADS Program Scholars is a two-step process. First, interested candidates are invited to file a completed application. Based upon a review of applications, selected applicants are invited to a one-day orientation conference program providing further information about the nature, structure, and expectations of a doctoral program of study; guidance on applying for a doctoral program; and the life and career of an accounting faculty member. Candidates will also have the opportunity to visit with representatives of most of the participating universities. Following the orientation program, attendees are asked to confirm their continuing interest in becoming an ADS Program Scholar, and if selected as an ADS Scholar, commit to applying for admission to one or more doctoral program(s) in accounting at a participating university. A Selection Committee will then select 30 ADS Program Scholars from this group of candidates. The average GMAT score of candidates selected for ADS fun
