A few admissions news items from this week:
- Duke's Fuqua School of Business will offer a master's program aimed at recent graduates with little or no work experience starting in August 2009. The program will provide a Masters in Management Studies ("MMS") and consist of 12 business courses taught over four six-week terms or nine months. Participants can have a bachelors, masters, or doctoral degree, but little or no formal business education. It is in direct competition with London Business School's Masters in Management program.
- Natalie Grinblatt Epstein and I took questions from waitlisted applicants during a lively MBA waitlist chat last week. The first topic : The ABC's of Getting Accepted from the Waitlist. For the whole alphabet, see the transcript.
