Over the summer, we are doing monthly reviews of completed applications for our MBA and MMBA. We've added 2 more to our MBA class bringing our total number to 24. Final application deadline is September 15. We will do one more review before the deadline on August 3. All fully funded graduate assistantships have been awarded. The average GMAT of these 24 students is 645, average GPA is about 3.3, and they average over 4 years of work experience. Our goal is to start a class of 40-45 in January.
We've added 10 more students to the MMBA class that will begin in August bringing that class up to 46. We will continue to accept applications through July 31 and will have the final committee meeting on August 3. Orientation is August 13-16 and is mandatory. Goal for this group is 50-55.
The Walton Summer MBA Open House and Social is next Friday, July 10. This is a great time to come see our facilities and to meet our MBA Director, Dr. Alan Ellstrand. The Open House is at 5:30 in 403 Willard J. Walker Hall and the Social is 6-8 at Powerhouse. Immediately after the Open House we will join the Social. Marion and Deb will have it in full swing by then. The Social gives prospective students a chance to meet current MBA students and to see how the group interacts. You'll get a good "feel" for the programs. If you plan to attend either or both events and haven't RSVP'ed yet, please send an email to gsb@walton.uark.edu. I hope to see you there.
The University is closed tomorrow and I will be out of the office next week for some much needed rest and relaxation. I'll try to update the blog a couple of time while I am out.
