<Allison_Student> laceName w:st="on">BostonlaceName> laceType w:st="on">CollegelaceType> does not have a minimum required GMAT score. The average GMAT score for the full-time class of

    2005 was 661. For the part-time program the middle "80%" of the accepted students ranged between 510 and 710.

<Allison_Student> Hi Peina

<eina> HI, Allison

<DL> Thank you Allison, does the admissions team consider PT apps different from FT, for instance I know the qualifications for scores

    are a bit lower, but perhaps their is more emphasis on Work experience for PT since the students will continue employment during

    MBA

<FabianA> What do most students say has been the most insightful or beneficial aspect of the MBA program? For instance the

    Consulting Competition, a particular class, a certain club etc.

<John_Admissions> Jackie, yes there are several international opportunities.  IME (International management experience) is a class

    where you discuss international management issues then visit companies in Europe or Asia and speak with Executives.

<ejw03> John, is there an agreement with any 'other schools' in terms of cross registering so that if at BC I could take a class at another

    MBA program? Will each course have to be paid for separately, or is it part of tuition?

<John_Admissions> We also allow students to study for a semester in the 2nd year.  We are flexible on which programs you want to visit

    but they must be approved in advance.

Vanee has entered the room (hostname: XXXXX.dsl.sntc01.pacbell.net)

<Jackieo10000> Thanks, John!

<Allison_Student> I think you'll find that most people have different experiences here - overall, the team approach (Business Plan,

    Consulting Project) and the relationships built through these projects

<conleyadmissions> DL - the admissions requirements are the same for PT and FT. However, many of our PT applicants have been in

    the work force (and out of school longer) so we are able to gather a bit more from their resumes. However, the academic standards

    are the same.

<edward> hi allison

<Vanee> Hello Allison

<SaraB> For the accounting program, it is now required to gain a fifth year of school to be able to sit for the CPA exam.  Do they

    consider if you have a full time job more than your grades and GMAT scores?

AndrewC has entered the room (hostname: 214.13.8.999)

<ejw03> How many students typically study abroad, not including the IME program? How competitive is it to do the IME program?

<Vanee> I'd like to know how important are GMAT scores in the admissions process?

<Allison_Student> Feel free to jump in with any questions you may have

<Jackieo10000> John, I've looked at the BC web site, is there a place where I can find out more about campus events, info session for

    when I plan to visit?

<John_Admissions> ejw03 I am not aware if we have any formal agreements with other schools, but I know of several schools in the

    Boston area where students have taken classes.  The student is billed by the school they are taking classes in, but BC charges by

    credit so it is "taken off" of what you pay to us.

<Allison_Student> Edward, BC offers both an Entrepreneruship Concentration in addition to a student club that focuses on

    Entrepreneurship

<conleyadmissions> Sara, we definitely take into consideration full-time work experience. It can add a lot to a student's overall

    application profile.

<Allison_Student> Lisa, yes - most of the interviews are conducted by 2nd year students who are members of the Admissions

    Committee

sfmanzo has entered the room (hostname: XXXXX.nwc.navy.mil)

<eina> I am International student,and I am studying in NYC now,also a Master program, but I still want a MBA. I wanna know is it late

    for me to apply for Round 2, I read online the deadline for round 2 is Feb.15? Cause I didn't take GAMT yet, and I knew usually

    B-school doesn't consider GRE score. Thanks

<conleyadmissions> The summer/summer is just that...mostly coursework/time on campus taking place over summer. The academic

    year folks are more engaged with academic year activities with the rest of our Grad Students.

<FabianA> Has the downturn in the economy over the past few years had a negative impact on the number of companies recruiting at

    BC for full-time and internship opportunities

<John_Admissions> Honestly very few student Study Abroad.  They often find out that when they get here its such a short period of time

    they do not want to be away.  They take much more advantage of the IME and the International Consulting Project which works with

    an overseas client.  The IME and International Consulting classes are very popular but most students are able to enroll in them.

<SaraB> Thank you all for your time. All o fthe questions that have been asked have helped clarify many questions I had.

<Vanee> I submitted my application before re-taking the GMAT, is that ok?

Yuan has entered the room (hostname: 198.103.167.999)

<lisam> If I am interested in a "dual degree" with and MA in Higher Education, should I start to think about applying to both programs

    simotaneously?

<Yuan> Hello

cepierce has entered the room (hostname: 63.85.52.999)

<conleyadmissions> Most schools have seen a decline in their on-campus recruiting opportunities. However, this has resulted in

    Career Services Offices to be more creative in matching opportunities with students...through alumni, facutly,etc. However, most

    schools are report upturns in their recruiting efforts, which has been terrific.

<ejw03> Are there more interviews besides the initial one offered as part of the application process?

<John_Admissions> We do our best to get decisions out as early as possible.  We use the response date as the latest possible date

    that you will receive a decision but it could come earlier.

<sfmanzo> What is the policy on deferred admissions?

<cepierce> When is the best time to apply for the fall semester?

<Allison_Student> Vanee, if you are going to be retaking the GMAT, you will want to contact our office through email

    (­

<ejw03> Thanks John, again.

<conleyadmissions> The MBA Program requires one onterview. The MSF Program requires none. THe MSA Program requires none;

    however, they often request interviews of candidates.

<ejw03> Have any decisions been made yet? What is the earliest one might here in a normal year?

<FabianA> Thank you conley

<Vanee> Allsion, I noted it on my application that I would be taking it in december, I submitted my application in November

<John_Admissions> lisam, you can apply to both programs simultaneously...

<Allison_Student> That's perfect then, Vanee

Jackieo10000 Quit (Connection reset by peer (TCP/IP connection broken))

<ejw03> hear i meant

<Vanee> How important are the GMATs in the admissions process?

<Allison_Student> It is to your advantage to apply earlier rather than later. Regardless of the deadline of your application packet, the

    Admissions Committee will give full and fair consideration to your candidacy. We do encourage all interested parties to apply early,

    regardless of our deadlines.

telebears has entered the room (hostname: 4.2.152.999)

<Yuan> Is it possible for me to go for summer intership program as canadian?

<Brahma> What can we expect to be asked in the interview?

<conleyadmissions> The MBA Program does not grant deferrals.Students are required to reapply, though the reapplication

    requirements are not as involved and your original application can be used.

<Allison_Student> for the class profile

<DL> Hi for the PT program, please give me your thoughts the Leadership for Change Sequence and the Business Development

    Workshop

<ejw03> How involved is career services in the internship process for the summer?

<John_Admissions> however, often Dual Higher Ed applicants are earlier in their career and do not have alot of work experience which

    is highly valued in our process, if you think you will be more qualified after a year in the MA Higher Ed you might condsider that.

<conleyadmissions> Yuan - all students are eligible to do a summer internship.

<edward> how do incoming students from nontraditional backgrounds do in the BC MBA program?  my family runs a chemical

    manufacturer - i want an mba so i can take a leadership role in the company.  i was a bio major in undergrad. i took a calc and stats

    class.. no other quant classes.  Should i be worried at all?

<JJohnson> where do most students live?  close to campus?  also, are laptops required?

<ejw03> Since the second year classes are held late day or evening, do many students have internships during the second year as

    well?

<Allison_Student> Brahma, you should be prepared to talk about your experiences, your future career goals, and how an MBA relates to

    your goals.

<conleyadmissions> Edward, your experience is very relevant and quite frankly, we value diversity of background, educational and

    professional. And your career path is already defined, which is a plus when applying to an MBA program.

<John_Admissions> Vanee- The GMAT is one aspect of the Admissions process.  We lok at an entire application as a whole and do

    not weigh one factor more or less than another.  it is important that applicants are strong throughout their application.

<Vanee> Thanks, John.

<Allison_Student> JJohnson, many of the students live close to campus, but there are also students who commute from downtown

    and outside the city in the suburbs.

<John_Admissions> DL

<ejw03> Is there any on campus housing?

<Allison_Student> Laptops are not requireed, but the entire campus is wireless and many of the students do have them

<DL> Hi John

<Vanee> Also, what does BC offer for life scientists? What does the healthcare club do?

<Allison_Student> Unfortunately there is no on-campus housing for graduate students.

<FabianA> I was looking at the Invest N Kids program, and was wondering if there were any other volunteer opportunities available

piercec has entered the room (hostname: 63.85.52.999)

<lisam> Allison, why did you choose BC over other MBA programs?

<John_Admissions> The leadership for Change Program is a great opportunity to integrate your studies with your current work.  It is yet

    another example of how we try and integrate our program with real-world applications of the concepts.

<edward> how quant intensive is the program at BC?  is there a "quant crash course" offered prior to enrollment ?

<Allison_Student> Fabian, there is a new section on our website under student resources on our website (­

<Allison_Student> this has a large list of volunteer opportunities in Boston

<ejw03> What is the earliest any decisions could be sent out? Admittance or denial?

<Brahma> Thanks Allison!!!

<Allison_Student> Lisa, I chose BC for a lot of different reasons - small class size, community, focus on practical experience, faculty

    interaction, location in Boston.

<conleyadmissions> Edward, there is no quant course requirement. However, many students choose to "brush-up" on their quant

    skills by taking a quant methods course prior to enrolling.

<FabianA> That's great, thank you Allison

<Allison_Student> no problem!

<Vanee> Where is this quant methods course offeredn?

kerwin has entered the room (hostname: XXXXX.cable.mindspring.com)

<conleyadmissions> Edward, taking a course in preparation for the MBA Program is generally well received by the AD COM

<Allison_Student> Hi Kerwin

<John_Admissions> The Business Development Workshop allows a student to gain insight to how a Company or Business Plan is

    established.  You work with Entrepreneurs and Business Executives to build a buisness from scartch.  These are tools that can be

    used in a new business venture or in a well established organization.

<conleyadmissions> Many students take quant courses at local b-schools or laceName w:st="on">HarvardlaceName> Extension School.

<Yuan> What is the employment rate for international students

<lisam> Thank you John, Allison and Conley for this insight on the program and the application process.

<BMitchell> My background is more marketing/PR focused, and much less finance/accounting/econ focused. What can I expect my first

    year to be like? What can I be doing to prepare for the Qual side? What programs/etc.. are out there to help me in places I might be a

    bit rough around the edges?

lisam Quit (Web Browser closed)

<BMitchell> conley, I see part of the answer in your response above.

Ian has entered the room (hostname: 4.17.135.999)

<FabianA> Allison, John, and Conley thank you for answering my questions, you all were very helpful.  Take Care.

<conleyadmissions> BMitchell, I am going to have Alison,student with non-traditional background, chat with you to give you more

    information on her experience in first year.

<Allison_Student> The first year is fairly intensive, I won't lie. But you also have a great support network of classmates and faculty.

<Allison_Student> I prepared by taking a stat and finance course prior to coming...

<Allison_Student> Community colleges are great places to take a class here and there...and usually are not quite as expensive

FabianA has left the room

<DL> what about a calculus class prior to coming?

<taty14> do you ofeer internships

<conleyadmissions> DL, Calculus would be helpful,certainly. Statistics as well.

<John_Admissions> If your Math Skills are rusty it is helpful to get them "tuned up" but we also offer an online course for all enrolling

    students to get everyone up to speed.

<GC> what are the requirements for receiving a merit scholarship?

<piercec> When is the best time to apply for the fall semester?

<whtwy2go> is it preferable or do you have a greater chance of entering with a year or two of experience?

BrianWai has entered the room (hostname: 128.164.61.999)

<whtwy2go> excuse me job experience?

cepierce Quit (Ping timeout)

<conleyadmissions> GC, in general our merit-award recipients tend to have exceptional academic and professional credentials. In

    general the top-40% of admitted students will receive a merit-award.

<Allison_Student> Work experience is not required, but having professional experience provides of frame of reference for classroom

    discussion and is therefore encouraged. Since our curriculum emphasizes collaborative learning, it is very important that the

    Admissions Committee understand the experiences and backgrounds of the prospective applicants. Evaluating how these factors

    inform your frame of reference is essential to the admissions process.

<Yuan> What is the employment rate for international students

<BrianWai> Hi I just joined

<conleyadmissions>

<Allison_Student> Hi Brian

<edward> how competitive are the students - in other words, are they good about helping each other out (ie. students with finance

    backgrounds helping out students without finance backgrounds if they need help)?

<Vanee> How dooes the career office help with attaining summer internships?

<John_Admissions> Welcome Brian

<BrianWai> A follow up on the merit-award, what is the amount that is offered?

<Allison_Student> I have found that people are extremely helpful -

<ejw03> How involved is career services in the internship process?

<conleyadmissions>

<John_Admissions> Brian, Merit Scholarships are based on individuals skills.  The value and terms of those scholarships are

    determined by the committee and based on the entire applicant pool.

<DL> is the career office available to PT students? Are there any services for FT not offered to PT students?

<ejw03> Beceause of 2nd year scheduling, do student carry interships over into the second year to gain more experience? Have 2nd

    year classes always been held late day?

<Allison_Student> Career Services is available to provide assistance with the internship search. They have several postings online,

    and they also offer personal help if you have specific interests//needs

<BrianWai> Thanks John. Are full scholarships offered or only partial?

conleyadmissions is now a Room Moderator in BCCSoMA (issued by John_Admissions)

<conleyadmissions>

<Vanee> thanks allison.

<DL> thx

<Allison_Student> Several of our students do carry their internships over through the year. Due to the structure of the curriculum,

    classes in the 2nd year have always been offered late to allow students to work if they are interested.

<Vanee> I have yet to receive an email confirmation about my application (supposed to have arrived 10 days after application)

<John_Admissions> Brian, we offer a full range of scholarships.

<Allison_Student> you're welcome, vanee

<Yuan> Do international students have trouble finding summer interships

<whtwy2go> im a little overwhelmed and nervous about moving from the west coast to the east coast, when entering BC what kind of

    assistance if offered to help one establish themselves in the area

<John_Admissions> Brahma- All students who are awarded Merit Based Scholarship also receive Graduate Assistantships.  These

    assistantships could be in the form of doing research with faculty. They could also be in the form of academic administration.

    Assistantships are assigned based on the student's background and experience.

<DL> For PT, since there is only one deadline for Fall 05, if I were to submit my app Jan 1 when could I expect to hear back? My

    assumption was > 2 mth

<Allison_Student> They offer networking events both on and off campus, and there is a national conference attended by several

    members each year.

taty14 Quit (Ping timeout)

<Allison_Student> Vanee, the acceptance rate for the full-time program was 28% for last year

<Vanee> thank you allison.

<eina> thanks, Allison, do you know are there international students come from China?

<conleyadmissions>

<Allison_Student> Yes, there are several students each year that come from China.

Tarang has entered the room (hostname: XXXXX.telica.com)

<Allison_Student> Hi Tarang

<John_Admissions> Ahh, Thanks Jessica, you are not required to concentrate.  In fact I often encourage people to take the courses

<eina> thanks, Allison

<Tarang> I guess I came in a little late and we're wrapping up?

<Jessica> great, thanks Johyn

还有一个和一个ADMISSION的单独对话记录

Hilary>  Hi Peina, I work here in the admissions office

    and would be happy to answer your question about the

    round 2 deadline.

<eina> hi,

<Hilary>  Round 2 is not until February 15, so as long as you have an appointment schedule

    for prior to the deadline you should be fine.

<Hilary>  What you can do is report on your application what your test date will be and on the

    day of the exam fax your score report to us at 617-552-8078

<Hilary>  Does this answer your question?

<eina> thanks,,but I also have another question, applying for round2 won't be considered

    for financial aid?

<eina> and do I have to schedule an interview for application before Feb 15?

<Hilary>  All applicants to the February 15th deadline have the opportunity to be considered

    for merit based funding

<eina> thanks

<Hilary>  what you would want to do is indicate on page 3 of the application that you wish to

    be considered and submit to us a coverletter

<eina> thank you Hilary

<Hilary>  If you are applying for the Full Time Program and want submit your application for

    the February 15 deadline, we encourage folks to have appointments scheduled prior to

    February  15

<Hilary>  You can log right into your online application to schedule your interview.

<Hilary>  Best of luck with the process Peina!

<eina> Thank you!

<eina> So the interview is usually hold on campus? i am living in NYC now, so I will go to

    Boston for the interview, or here?

<Hilary>  We prefer interviews to be conducted here on campus; that way not only are we

    able to meet with you face-to-face but it also gives you the opportunity to visit the

    campus.

<Hilary>  If you are unable to make it to campus however...

<Hilary>  we do schedule telephone interview appointments

<eina> and do you think what's the best time to schedule a interview? cause there is a

    winter break coming, could I take interview during winter break?

<Hilary>  Currently, we have no interviews scheduled while our students are away on break

    as our second years are our interviewers.

<Hilary>  Our interview schedule will conclude for the fall next Wednesday but will resume

    the week of January 18th.

<eina> Thanks,and anther important question, will you consider the average the GAMT

    score or the highest one?

<Hilary>  sorry peina, what was your last question.  my computer closed the window by

    accident..i apologize

<eina> that's ok, I wanna know will you consider the average GMAT score or the highest

    one?

<Hilary>  What the Committee will do is take your highest GMAT score

<Peina> thanks,,,so a previous low score does not matter.

<Hilary>  What the Committee will do is see you being tenacious by retaking the GMAT but

    in terms of what score will the Committee use in reviewing your application; they will look

    at the highest score

<Peina> Thank you very much, now I am clear.

<Hilary>  Glad I could be of help!  Please feel free to contact our office if you have any

    further questions.

<Peina> OK, and nice to talk to you
