FROM Aringo Blog: Poets & Quants Ranks the Top 100 MBA Programs |
The site Poets & Quants published its annual ranking of Full-Time U.S. MBA programs in the U.S., a comprehensive formulation based on the five most important rankings of MBA programs- The Economist, Businessweek, Forbes, Financial Times, and US News with each program allocated an index between 1 and 100. Harvard topped the ranking for the fourth time in a row, followed by Stanford, Chicago, Wharton, and Kellogg. The competition was tight between the four leading programs (only 1.8 points separated the first and fourth), and overall there were no significant changes from last year. According to the ranking, Chicago topped Wharton for the fourth time in a row, sealing H/S/C as the MBA leaders, rather than H/S/W.

FROM Aringo Blog: What is the 2014 MBA Salary Forecast? |
A new GMAC survey published this month reveals the salary forecast for fresh MBA graduates. The survey included 211 employers in 33 different countries and reveals that 42% of employers plan to pay newly graduated MBAs this year the same as in 2013, while 45% of employers plan to pay slightly more in accordance with the inflation rate. Only 11% plan to increase salaries for MBA alumni at a rate higher than inflation. Two percent of employers plan to pay less in 2014 than in 2013. In terms of employment predictions, 72% of those surveyed responded that they plan to recruit MBA graduates in the year 2014 (one percent higher than last year), with most planning to recruit the same number or more of MBA graduates as opposed to last year. What can new MBA graduates do to improve their employment chances? Ninety-eight percent of employers responded that MBAs need to be able to utilize data toward decision-making, and 97% said MBA graduates must have excellent interpersonal skills.

FROM Aringo Blog: The Most Wanted MBAs? Harvard, Stanford, INSEAD, and LBS |
The annual QS TopMBA survey was released revealing which MBAs carry the highest demand in the job market. The survey included employers from around the world and aims to uncover from which business schools they prefer to recruit. In North America, employers look to hire from Harvard and Stanford, while in Europe they favor INSEAD and LBS, and INSEAD Singapore leads in Asia. In addition, the report also points to the top schools among recruiters for different specializations. Among U.S. schools, employers prefer to hire Harvard graduates in the areas of social responsibility, entrepreneurship, leadership and strategy, and MIT graduates for the areas of information management and operations management. Stanford alumni are considered tops for innovation, Wharton graduates are preferred for finance, and Kellogg leads in marketing. The study also showed that alumni salaries directly reflect the schools from which they graduated – HBS graduates earn an average starting salary of $120,000 while alumni from less popular programs earn salaries in the area of $70,000.

FROM Aringo Blog: Update from HBS and Stanford for Round 2 Candidates |
Harvard and Stanford’s admission committees published updates for Round 2 candidates, including timetables for interview invitations. The deadline for Stanford’s Round 2 was 1/8, and they intend to continue their Round 1 pilot of completing all interviews within four weeks with rejected candidates receiving their answers earlier in order to enable them to apply to other schools. Interview invitations will be sent to Round 2 candidates between 2/3 – 3/4. Harvard reported that they will send interview invitations to Round 2 candidates on two specific dates – 1/29 and 2/5, and that rejection notices will be released on 2/5 to all candidates not advancing in the process. Interview invitations will be sent via email and will include times and locations for campus interviews occurring February 13-28 as well as interviews in other cities around the world. Candidates who cannot travel can be interviewed over Skype. Put Me in Business (applying in less than a year) Put Me in Business (applying in more than a year) |

FROM Aringo Blog: Harvard Refutes Common Round 3 Myths |
HBSposted on its blog about its Round 3 application option (deadline: 4/7), usually considered to bear the lowest chance of admission, and addressed some common myths on the topic: "Myth #1: There are no spots available. Not true. We manage the selection process to ensure that there are always spots open for the candidates we want. Are there as many spots open as in Rounds 1 and 2? No. Are there as many applicants? No. Do I think a strong candidate has a fair shot? Yes. Myth #2: We’ve run out of financial aid. Not true. The very last person admitted to the class has access to the same need-based financial aid that the very first person received. Myth #3: If I get dinged in Round 3, I can't/shouldn't apply the next season in Round 1. Not true. There's absolutely no stigma in re-applying 5 months later. Happens a lot. Many people in our classroom today were successful re-applicants. Myth #4: It's too late for 2+2 applicants. Not true. Not even close to true. Round 3 is a great choice for 2+2 applicants. Why? We can be more flexible about the number of 2+2 admits given that we are not worried about a "seat being occupied" for this September. College seniors have another semester of grades to show us. And another semester of activities. I also see a 2+2 application as a good dress rehearsal for future applications - and possibly interviews - to lots of other selective scenarios. If you aren't admitted to 2+2, we like to say (over and over): It doesn't mean not ever, it means not now. Besides, it's a great deal. $100 application fee. A chance to get the standardized tests over with when you're in test-taking mode. And, best of all, two or three years to explore and then come to HBS. Myth #5: There's no Welcome Weekend for Round 3 admits. True. But all the interviews will be held on campus so you'll get to see us in real time. And here's some advice about visiting classes and the campus: If you want to see the case method in action, there are many spots available to visit a HBS class this spring. Also, there will be limited availability for visiting a class before the Round 1 application deadline next fall, so this is a great time to visit. Register for a class visit through our online scheduling system. We will also be hosting several other events on campus in the next few months, including an LGBT Open House, Prospective Students’ Diversity Day, and lunches for prospective women applicants with members of the Women’s Student Association. You can always meet us online, too. We will be hosting Admissions Q&A webinars to answer your questions before the Round 3 deadline, as well as webinars featuring members of the Women’s Student Association and the Armed Forces Alumni Association. To learn more, please see the Admissions Events page of our website." Put Me in Business (applying in less than a year) Put Me in Business (applying in more than a year) |
