Admissions Officers Share Insights in New White Paper
Test preparation and admissions consultant Veritas Prep has released a white paper that compiles insights from admissions officers at 30 business schools. Among other trends, the report finds that nearly half of respondents report that the number of admits straight out of college has increased compared with five years ago, that admissions officers would like to see more diversity in applicant pools, and that analytical skills rank as the top characteristics admissions officers look for in applicants. The report, Trends in MBA Admissions: Perceptions of Admissions Officers at Top 30 Business Schools, includes findings from an online survey of MBA admissions officers.

The footballer studied through the school’s online MBA program while attending NFL training camp. During his studies, he joined a student entrepreneur network that helped him land a three-month internship, which in turn led to a full-time job with a venture capital firm in Scottsdale, Arizona.
