MBA Update and Misc.

Of that list of 10 applicants that were sent to committee for the MBA program, six were offered admission. That brings our total possible to 41. We are unable to accept any more international applications due to the time left before the start of the program. It would be hard for me to turn down a highly qualified domestic applicant right now. This offer is open through the end of November. To find the complete list of our application requirements, visit, http://gsb.uark.edu/admissions.asp. The ideal candidate, at this last stage, would have a 620+ on the GMAT, two years of work experience, and a 3.0+ on his/her last 60 hours of degree credit. If you meet these criteria, you can apply at http://gsb.uark.edu.

For those looking to start the Walton MBA in January 2013, be sure to submit all materials by April 1, 2012 to be considered for funding opportunities.

PhD application deadline is January 15. First round of decisions will go out early to mid-February. I do not know yet how many seats each Department is looking to fill. It is usually 2-4. No specifics yet. More to come later.

This Saturday the Lights of the Ozarks will be turned on. I am not a huge fan of the cold but I do love this time of year. The Lights of the Ozarks are located on Fayetteville's historic square. From November 19 through the New Year, the lights will come on each night. This is a very popular destination for families and visitors. It is complete with pony rides, carolers, and even a camel or two.



I will be out of the office next week. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
