I am on a roll. To say that it is crazy in GSB Admissions would be an understatement and would not even come close to describing this semester thus far. Let's recap:
January 15 was the PhD application deadline. I haven't done my official numbers yet but a quick and dirty count shows we received about 200 applications (a slight increase from the 186 from last year).
February 1 was the MIS deadline. We received about 80 applications (up from 68). Offers have gone out and we are waiting for student responses.
The MAcc deadline was March 1. Decisions just went out this week. This program saw a significant increase in applications. Last year, a total of 118 applications were received. We have received about 150 total this year.
Early decision deadline for both of our MBA programs (full-MBA and part-time-MMBA) is April 1. Those who wish to be eligible for funding in the full-time program must submit all application materials by April 16. Application requirements can be found at http://gsb.uark.edu/admissions.asp. The committee is meeting April 20th.
Final deadline for MMBA is July 1. Orientation is August 2-5 and is mandatory. This program starts each August.
Final deadline for MBA is September 15. This program only starts in January.
Please email any questions to gsb@walton.uark.edu.
Aside from assisting with the processing of applications, I have also done a little recruiting. No rest for the wicked, right? I have one more campus visit to make this semester. Next week I will be at the University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff. I am also going on a recruiting trip to Panama next month. Walton will be starting an MBA program in Panama later this year.
Commencement is May 12th - just 6 weeks away. I can't believe it. The next few weeks will surely fly by.
