Only 9.8% of Survey Respondents Plan to Apply to Six Business Schools This Year, Down From 14% Last Year
LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - Feb 25, 2013) - Business school applicants are scaling back the number of schools that they apply to, according to a new survey by Stacy Blackman Consulting, the leading b-school admissions consulting firm. While 14% of respondents in 2012 applied or plan to apply to six schools, only 9% in 2013 applied or plan to apply to six schools this year, reported the survey.
"We are seeing prospective b-school applicants better target the schools that best align with their goals and credentials. Instead of applying to a broad sweep of schools which just adds more cost and work. Applicants are taking the time to truly understand which programs are right for them and being more selective about which schools to apply to," said Stacy Blackman, President of Stacy Blackman Consulting.
The survey also revealed that:
The survey was conducted between January 21, 2013 and February 4, 2013, with 561 respondents.
