[dean's letter]Here is the response from our admissions director. She describes why they did this. We have learned that this is not a good idea and we are not going to do this next year. We appreciate your interest in Fuqua!
[director's letter]Last year we asked students to provide their financial documentation with the application for admission last year. We initially thought this would help with visa processing for admitted students and we would also be able to get a sense for how many international students might need the loan program. Bottom line, we shot ourselves in the foot because the international students felt that we were using their financial status as part of the admission criteria.
For the upcoming year, we are not asking for any proof before an offer of admission is made so this will hopefully help to alleviate some of these concerns.
That's true. But not next year, they've already started expansion this year. Something like from 340 to 400. One bad thing, their student loan has the limit of $30,000/year. That means you have to prepare another $30,000 by yourself.
Fuqua School of Business has increased its intake of daytime MBA students by 65 to 405. The school hopes this move will help fill a gap in revenue after applications tailed-off for the $100,000-a-year Global Executive MBA programme. Without this extra revenue Fuqua's plan to expand its faculty would have been called into question.
The school insists standards will not be compromised. Dean Douglas Breeden said that admission standards had not been lowered. Early evidence also suggests that average GMAT scores will rise this year to 705 from 690.
This increase in students will be brought about by adding a sixth section of students. The school now believes it will break even as a result of the plans.
========== 扩招的原因是break even.
They said the admissions standards would not be compromised. Hope the quality as well.
