In case you were hoping for a breather following last week’s deadlines for Harvard, Columbia (ED) and Wharton, we’re afraid things aren’t letting up. Here’s what’s on deck for this week:
Today:
-Tuck (EA)
Wednesday, October 19th:
-Stanford GSB
-Darden/UVA
Friday, October 21st:
-Kellogg/Northwestern
-London Business School
With the arrival of application deadlines comes talk of application volume. Our initial expectations are for stable volume this season, but we’ll be back later in the week with a word on admissions volume in R1. Part of the reason that we’re looking for steady application volume relates to the latest news from GMAC which shows that global GMAT test-taker volume has been up slightly through the first nine months of 2005. International volume is actually up nearly 8% – suggesting that the popularity of the MBA continues to grow abroad.
In closing today’s entry, we’d like to offer our congratulations to Le Optimiste, a fellow blogger who has just been admitted to Columbia Business School! This is wonderful news! Optimiste may be the first applicant-blogger from the class of 2008 to gain admission and we hope that he/she continues to provide readers with information about the rest of the process (financing, relocation, leaving work, etc). Perhaps we’ll see Le Optimiste strolling up the red carpet at this year’s Best of Blogging awards?
