The MBA admissions teams are constantly tweaking their admissions process—introducing new questions and application components. In recent years, the Stanford GSB launched four new optional questions, each approximately 180 words in length—effectively almost doubling the size of the GSB’s written application! In recent years, HBS and Wharton both added new background questions; Wharton also modified its letter of recommendation form—already an anomaly in business school applications. Each of these changes adds to a business school application’s complexity, which in turn makes an applicant’s journey more challenging. The bottom line: The commitment, energy, and expertise required to develop a winning business school application have increased dramatically in recent years. You need to work harder to gain acceptance to an MBA program, so your business school admissions consultant naturally needs to work harder as well.

Indiana State University’s Scott College of Business (SCOB) is an outstanding business school, according to The Princeton Review. The education services company has named the school’s on-campus MBA program to its list of Best Business Schools for 2024. SCOB is recognized as one of the best business schools nationwide and in the Midwest, and Best Online MBA program. The administrator survey requested data on topics from academic offerings, faculty, and career services to admission and graduation rates. The student survey asked students to rate their school’s academics, professors, administrators and career services and to report on its campus culture as well as their career plans. “What students tell us about their experiences at their b-schools contributes substantially to our school selections, profiles, and ratings,” Franek noted. “We also factor data from our student surveys into our tallies of 17 of this project’s 18 categories of ranking lists,” he added. Each ranking list names the top 10 on-campus MBA schools in a particular category. The Princeton Review does not rank the schools overall from 1 to 244 on a single list.

Stratus Director of MBA Admissions Susan Cera discusses a few things to consider if your lower GPA has you concerned when it comes to applying to business school.

Congratulations to Chief Doreen Arrowmaker, MBA, MGM and the community of Gameti on 6 high school graduates. This after a successful 2023 year where there were 8 graduates. This is a dramatic turnaround for the community. There are a number of takeaways from this remarkable achievement: - Leadership starts at the top and this is clearly shown by Chief Arrowmaker who truly believes in education. She has two masters degrees herself - Technology can be utilized particularly in remote northern locations. Much of the coursework is delivered virtually. - It takes a community to succeed. There were a number of parties that came together to make this a success story including the territorial government (GNWT), parents, school administrators, students, etc. - Grit and determination is key. Students have had to roll up their sleeves and own the process. Three of the potential graduates are mothers. Having to balance personal responsibiiities with their academic pursuits. Truly a remarkable story. Well done Chief Arrowmaker and everyone that contributed to a successful 2024 graduating class. #education #learning #determination #community #indigenous #remotelearning #nwt #yellowknife
