咱们穷人也可以申请这所巨牛的商学院了

偶有圣旨（已经编辑以隐去偶的真实姓名）在此，DUKE大学的Fuqua商学院今年不需要财政证明。

以前DUKE大学的Fuqua商学院总是要申请人提供财政证明才可以申请，偶为此痛哭流涕，终于感动了Fuqua商学院院长，亲笔写信如下，从此不再要什么劳什子证明：

[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.

let me know if you have questions.

咱们穷人也可以申请这所巨牛的商学院了。不过，只是申请而已，录取与否还是要看实力的。

感到难以置信的朋友们，请不要在下面跟贴问偶以免浪费空间，只管写信去问Fuqua商学院便知真假。偶明白这么好的消息突如其来实在是难以置信。

另有消息：该商学院今年扩招。这条消息非偶本人得来，乃是战友告诉，请知情人确认。

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.

今年就已经扩招了吗？但愿明年继续扩招，继续三级跳。就算偶进不去也可以看看热闹。

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.
