Today’s New York Times featured an interesting article about Harvard Business School’s Social Enterprise Initiative. The program, which recently marked its 10th anniversary, includes a number of activities and events, ranging from a business plan competition to coursework and other community-oriented activities. For the full text of the article:  There is a really interesting debate with regards to Columbia’s ED round taking place in the Wharton student-2-student discussion forums. The debate surrounds the ‘binding’ nature of the ED round, the $5,000 deposit and whether or not Columbia’s system presents an ethical dilemma. Click here to see how applicants and admissions staff are weighing in on the issue: Here’s an email that Tuck sent out yesterday… —– Original Message —– Dear xxxxx, Tuck alumnae members of the Tuck Women in Business Club (WIB) invite you to a festive evening of food, drink, and good conversation. Come meet Tuck alumnae and other women in business at an informal wine and cheese reception at a city near you. This is your opportunity to learn more about Tuck from the women who lived it. They are excited to meet you! Here is the schedule: San Francisco, CA New York City, NY Washington, DC Boston, MA Chicago, IL West Hollywood, CA Visit www.tuck.dartmouth.edu/mba/events to register for a WIB reception. We hope you can attend! In addition, if you haven’t visited campus, Fall is a great time to do so.

While you are in Hanover, you are welcome to connect with student members of WIB. Also, be sure to check out the WIB website at: We hope to see you soon at a WIB reception or on campus – or both! Tuck Admissions Posted by Clear Admit on November 3, 2004, at 7:37 pm Posted in:  Deadlines , School: Michigan / Ross , School: NYU Stern A few news items worth noting: 1) According to discussion in the BW Forums, Michigan appears to have extended their first round deadline. There has been some debate about the causes for this extension (systems issues, fewer applications, etc.). There are also a handful of applicants who are not happy about the extension, since they raced to submit by the 1st, only to find out that some of their peers were given more time. For details: http://forums.businessweek.com/bw-bschools/messages?msg=59231.1 2) NYU is using a rather unorthodox marketing campaign this year. Here is the text from their web site: “Sign up to receive our marketing materials, and you’ll automatically be entered in a weekly drawing for an application fee waiver. MBA Admissions will contact the lucky winner each week.” For details: http://w4.stern.nyu.edu/admissions/fulltime/applyingtostern.cfm?doc_id=296 3) GMAC (the Graduate Management Admissions Council) has received an award for its work with executive MBA programs. Both part-time and executive MBA offerings have made considerable gains in the last two years, as full-time application volume was in decline. For the full article Posted by Clear Admit on November 2, 2004, at 4:04 pm Posted in: School: Chicago , School: Penn / Wharton From: Jain, Anjani To: All MBA Students It is with a considerable sense of loss that I am writing to inform you that Rose Martinelli, our Director of MBA Admissions and Financial Aid, will be stepping down from her position at the end of April 2005 to accept the position of Associate Dean for Recruitment and Admissions at the University of Chicago’s Graduate School of Business. This is a great opportunity for Rose, and will enable her to return to her native Chicago to be closer to her family. Rose will begin consulting for Chicago’s program on a limited basis, beginning shortly. She wants me to emphasize that she remains fully on board, leading our admissions processes during the current cycle. The advance notice of her resignation gives us several months to find her replacement. I have constituted a Search Committee, which will cast a wide net, screen and interview applicants, and recommend three candidates for selection. The final selection will be made after extensive interviews on campus. The Committee will be headed by Peter Degnan, Director of MBA Career Management, and will include Prof. Peggy Lane, Lisa Warshaw, Paula Greenberg, a faculty member from the MBA Executive Committee, a senior member of the Admissions Office, an alumnus/alumna, and a current student. The WGA Executive Board has appointed Justin Pallari as the student member of the Committee. In her six years with the Admissions Office, Rose has been an outstanding spokesperson for our MBA Program. Under her leadership, our staff and the large team of alumni, graduate assistants, and student volunteers have elevated our admissions processes to new levels of professionalism, transparency, and rigor. She has represented the School with grace and a deep knowledge of our culture in many professional symposia and in meetings with corporations and other stakeholders around the world. With her passion and commitment, she has earned the warmth and admiration of her colleagues and the thousands of students whom she guided through the admissions process. Rose is determined to make this academic year the strongest of her tenure at Wharton and I hope you will help her accomplish that in whatever capacity you can. With best regards, Anjani BusinessWeek has published an interview with Coleen Singer, director of career development at Yale SOM. In the wake of the poor marks Yale received in this category (in the BW rankings survey), it is interesting to read about how the school is reacting. For the full text of the article: |
