| FROM Aringo Blog: Increase in Global Demand for MBA Programs |
|
GMAC’s annual survey published last week highlights an increase in the number of applications submitted this year at 61% of participating two-year full-time MBA programs. This is the third year in a row that the demand for MBA programs increased, after 50% of schools reported an increase in 2013, and 43% in 2012. About 35% of programs reported a decrease in applications this year and 4% showed no change. The last time that a majority of programs reported an increase in applications was in 2009, and till now there has hovered the concern that full-time MBA programs are losing their power and prestige compared with other graduate programs and online programs. This year actually showed a decrease in applications to full-time one-year MBA programs at 60% of schools, and also a decrease in demand for Master’s of Finance programs at 59% of schools and Master’s in Management programs at 39% of schools. Another factor revealed by the survey is the growth in number of students who prefer to study outside their native countries. Since 2012, a significant portion of the growth in demand for full-time two-year MBA programs in the U.S. stemmed from an increase in demand among international students. Sixty-five percent of the U.S. programs reported an increase in applications from international students, mainly from China and India. In terms of the demand of U.S. candidates for U.S. MBA programs, 48% of programs reported an increase in applications from U.S. candidates, while 44% reported a decrease. In general, most of the applications to one-year and two-year programs in the world came from international students – 56% of one-year programs and 52% of two-year. One explanation for the increase in demand for MBA programs is the improved global economy that causes an increase in employers’ demand for MBA graduates, causing the MBA degree to be more worthwhile.

| FROM Aringo Blog: Business Schools Still Do Not Consider the IR Important |
|
A Kaplan survey published this month reveals that most business schools still are not sure how to use the integrated reasoning score even two years post its introduction to the GMAT exam. The IR section was added to the GMAT exam in June 2012 and was supposed to enable schools to better evaluate candidates’ abilities to cope with MBA studies since test takers must answer questions by analyzing data presented in different manners (tables, graphs, etc.). This section is scored individually on a scale of 1-8 with the average score being 4.32. The survey showed that 60% of 204 admissions committee members responded to the survey that the IR score is not an important element in their consideration of the candidate’s general GMAT score. Surprisingly, this number shows an increase since 2013; then only 57% considered the IR score insignificant. We would expect that as time progressed, schools would grow accustomed to this section and would learn to use the section to evaluate candidates. One reason for the IR’s low importance is that candidates who took the test before June 2013 whose scores are still valid do not have IR scores, and it is therefore difficult to compare them with candidates who have a score. It is reasonable to assume that in a few years, when all candidates have an IR score and the schools learn how to use the score, its significance will grow. The survey also showed that 50% of schools reported that an overall low GMAT score is a central factor towards a candidate’s rejection.
