Does anyone expect the number of applications to be lower this year? This chat had so many discussions around this time last year 🙂

In my humble opinion, I think the applicant pool will be pretty standard, but feel free to tell me I’m wrong if there’s anyone with inside knowledge

I’m thinking a dip in international applicants will be countered by an increase in domestic so it’ll probably be a wash for # of applicants

I guess so. Maybe thats why we don’t see a lot of activity here as the number of international applicants will be less. We can only guess at this point :)

There will be a dip in the total number of applicants,
not in the number of admits.

So, if HBS had around 8-9k applications last year across all rounds, we might see a dip of a few thousand this year.
That doesn’t mean one can get in with a relatively weak profile, the standards will remain pretty much the same.

In the Indian context, I believe we might see a rise in applications to ISB,
and we can probably say the same for Singapore and EU schools.

What will be interesting to see is the geopolitical scenario in the next few months, because many applicants might apply in Round 2 hoping that things will cool down by then.
But the way things are building up, I don’t see that happening. We might expect a slowdown or even a long-overdue correction in major indices. In that scenario, I have no idea what to expect,
maybe international admit data will take a hit, and schools will compensate for that with more domestic students, like you pointed out.

Personally, I won’t bother myself with this from an application standpoint,
but I’m definitely curious from a general perspective.

PS: What are the odds that people might have applied but don’t wanna reveal the same 😬😅
Anyways for those who have applied all the very best! Wish you success!
