Women MBA applicants on rise
Categories: General, GMAT
According to topmba.com applicant survey and GMAC Alumni Perspectives Survey 2010 about 40% of its test takers are now women. The actual number of takers has crossed 100,000 for the first time ever. David A. Wilson President and Chief Executive Officer of the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) says. With about 36% of the applicants being from India, it is interesting to note that more and more Indian women are now exploring an MBA as an career propelling opportunity. Business schools, already keen on increasing the number of female students in their class, offer special incentives like loans/scholarships and flexible schedules exclusively for women. You may just need to check with individual schools and find the best fit.
Zoya Zaitseva, Manager of the QS Tour, says: “In 2009, though 41% of applicants to the QS World MBA Tour were women, for the first time ever, there are some countries where the proportion of women was over 50% and we’re looking into why that might be.”
