MBA Numbers

The MBA admissions committee met last week. Application deadline was September 15. Late applications will be accepted through November. However, all funding has been awarded. Early decision deadline for the class that will begin in January 2012 is April 1, 2011.

Our class that will begin in January 2011 currently looks like this: 36 students, average GMAT = 638, average GPA = 3.5, average age = 25. This class is 44% female, 25% international, and 17% come from underrepresented populations. These numbers will change as students respond to this last round of offers. We will also continue to admit highly competitive applicants through November.

Fayetteville was a very exciting place to be this weekend. #1 ranked Alabama came to town and we almost pulled off the upset. The Razorbacks lost by 4 points. Record breaking crowds were in attendance - over 76,000. Students began camping out in front of the stadium last Monday. There were over 100 tents. It was a very festive atmosphere and the Hogs really did play well for most of the game. Things began to fall apart at the end. I just hope we finish the season strong.

I will be out of town tomorrow through Friday. I'll try to post but I am not making any promises. I'll be attending a conference in Charleston, SC. Hopefully no tropical storms or huricanes will blow me away.
