B-School Applications: The boom in MBA applications, brought on by the economic crisis that began in 2008, slowed significantly in 2010. Of the top 30 full-time U.S. MBA programs surveyed in the summer, 10 reported declines in application volume averaging 6.1 percent. Among them were University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, which was down 9 percent; UC-Berkeley's Haas School of Business, down 11 percent; and Cornell's Johnson Graduate School of Management, down 12 percent. Although some schools reduced their application fees and saw an uptick in volume, they were the exception and not the rule. Schools with a global reach were buoyed by increased interest in MBA programs among international applicants. Still, many were left wondering if business school applications had peaked.
