Interesting info, ninkorn.

I would guess that it's these lower rated schools that are seeing the biggest increase. I think the top schools won't top a 15% to 20% increase, at least rd 1 '08 over rd 1 '07. But who knows, maybe the numbers will blow out in rd 2 with today's job loss report. I'm so glad that I was able to get 4 apps in for rd 1 (and that's precisely the reason I did so).

Keep 'em coming if you get more info.

UC Berkeley (Haas)

"Peter Johnson, executive director of admissions for the campus's full-time MBA program, estimates applications are already up roughly 20 percent compared to last year, although only one round of its four-round application cycle has ended."

Alright, I agree with pelihu. This is just getting wierd. Are you a live newsfeed or something? What's next - a thread listing layoffs at F500 companies?

If you want to post these kind of items, consolidate all of the information into one post and present it thoughtfully. Stop cluttering the board.

If you really want the information to be user friendly edit your first post and put it all in there. It would be really easy to find especially if it was in order.

Also I hate to say it but I dont think that many of these schools are a good reflection of what tops schools will be seeing. These schools probably dont get very many apps to begin with, so its not that hard to increase volume a lot. I mean are some of those even fulltime programs?

I agree! But I was intrigued by SMU app numbers. 76% is high, and i dont even think that it reflects the volume increase that they might experience now that they have been ranked in the top 20 by BW. I know it would not make a huge diff to domestic applicants, but international applicants rely predominantly on rankings to choose their schools.

I saw where UNC Kenan Flagler backed their R1 interview deadline from December 17th to January 9th due to increase in demand.

I don't know if there's anything in print to back this up, but when I did an info session at Kellogg (it was the day before R1 deadline) the admissions officer doing the presentation said that their volume was up 22-23% over last year at the same point (i.e. day before deadline). Unless there was a huge dropoff in people who submitted on the deadline from last year, it's safe to assume a 20+% increase at Kellogg.
