Meet Yale School of Management\u2019s incoming class<\/b><\/h4>\n

As faithful blog readers will know, this year\u2019s entering class of MBAs is perhaps the most diverse and talented yet. Yale School of Management is no exception. On the whole, it\u2019s been a good year for Yale. First, it cracked the list of top business schools in both the <\/span>Bloomberg Businessweek<\/span><\/i> and the<\/span> Financial Times<\/span><\/i> rankings. On top of that, the MBA program ditched its former digs\u2014which consisted of several old mansions\u2014to set up shop in a far more modern building, called Evans Hall. Here are some more interesting Yale SOM facts: This year there were 326 new students, up significantly from the 23 who graduated three years ago. The school\u2019s newest class also includes a record number of women and international students. (<\/span>Poets & Quants<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

Price cut at Simon Business School<\/b><\/h4>\n

Tuition cuts at business schools are almost unheard of. Even more so at a business school that consistently ranks among the best and most competitive in the nation. Yet that\u2019s exactly what the <\/span>University of Rochester\u2019s Simon Business School<\/span><\/a> announced last week. The two-year program will now have a sticker price of $92K, compared with its current tuition of more than $106K. One can almost consider this a price correction of sorts, since the school has been charging more than other MBA programs with similar rankings and required GMAT scores. The dean of the business school says that many qualified applicants write off Simon early on in the process because of the tuition. (<\/span>Inside Higher Ed<\/span><\/i><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

Trailblazing businesswoman<\/b><\/h4>\n

Meet Angela Lee. She\u2019s an educator, entrepreneur, and assistant dean at <\/span>Columbia Business School<\/span><\/a>. A renowned motivational speaker on leadership, Lee is the founder and CEO of a company called <\/span>37 Angels<\/span><\/a>, which specializes in counseling women on how to invest in startups. As someone who has thrived in a traditionally male-dominated space, Lee has unique insights into the leadership differences between men and women. \u201cWhat I have noticed over the years, is that men are less apologetic than women are, whether it’s when firing someone or when making a decision at work. I also find that men are quicker to respond to opportunities,\u201d she says. (<\/span>The Huffington Post<\/span><\/i><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

Rotman applicants put to the test<\/b><\/h4>\n

The University of Toronto\u2019s Rotman School of Management just announced that it will be adding some new requirements to its application, consisting of what it calls a \u201ctimed written response question\u201d in conjunction with two two video questions. After the two video questions, applicants will face a written prompt, for which they have ten minutes to answers and no word limit. This new requirement will test applicants\u2019 writing \u201con the fly,\u201d without the assistance of anyone\u2014such as admissions consultants who can be quite helpful in \u201cpackaging\u201d the applicant. It\u2019s worth noting that Rotman was the first business school to employ video questions. Such schools as <\/span>Northwestern Kellogg School of Management<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Yale School of Management<\/span><\/a> both later followed suit.

MBA for HR<\/b><\/h4>\n

As you know, the career prospects of a business professional with an MBA are bountiful. MBAs enter a variety of roles in finance, consulting, and entrepreneurship, to name just a few possible career options\u2014all lucrative and fulfilling in their own rights. Another, lesser-known MBA route is human resources. You might be surprised to to know that about one in nine aspiring MBAs attend business school to work in this area, according to one survey.
