MBA
Math Completes Successful Third Year
(January 12, 2009)
During 2008, MBA Math helped over 3,000 students to
build a solid pre-MBA quantitative foundation. Twelve schools purchase
subscriptions for their incoming full-time, part-time, and/or executive
students, up from six in 2007. Numerous other schools recommend or require that
their students do so.
Among individual subscription purchases, applicants represent 25%, admitted
students 60%, and enrolled students 15%. Applicants often submit MBA Math
transcripts to bolster their admissions package, sometimes at the request of
admissions officers seeking demonstrated proficiency with MBA quant skill
basics.
Live multi-day courses, at Dartmouth (Tuck) and Cornell (Johnson), coupled with
short workshops, at events sponsored by Forté Foundation and MBADiversity,
continue to shape the course material.
Thanks to students, faculty, and administrators who support MBA Math and
provide suggestions. Special thanks to current students who serve on the MBA
Math Board of Advisors.
