In the last few weeks, a handful of top business schools have reported single-digit, and in some cases double-digit, declines in applications for their full-time MBA classes, including most recently Columbia Business School and New York University’s Stern School of Business. It turns out they’re not alone. Full-time MBA applications have sunk at least a dozen of the top 30 B-schools, according to class profile data of 17 business schools obtained this week by Bloomberg Businessweek.
Among the schools that have reported declines are the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business, the Yale School of Management and Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business(down 3.5 percent, 9.5 percent, and 7 percent, respectively).【F1】
A handful of schools reported even steeper drops, including Michigan State University’s Broad College of Business, where applications fell 18 percent, and Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business, with a significant dip of nearly 21 percent.
【F2】
Timothy Smith, the senior associate director of admissions and financial aid at the Kelley School, attributes the decline in applications to increased competition from rival business schools and a overabundance of available choices, including part-time and online programs.
Second-tier schools are working more aggressively to recruit top MBA candidates and entice them with hefty financial aid packages, he says. Kelley has 177 students in its incoming MBA class this year, down from 213 the year before.
"The pool has been fragmented most aggressively this year with part-time, online, and other options," Smith says. "There is no doubt about it, the number of students hasn’t increased, and there are more players at the table.【F3】
At the same time,(employer)sponsorship for full-time MBA programs is almost nonexistent, and doing an MBA part-time or online can be an attractive offer for some students, especially when there is funding available
. "
With a smaller pool of MBA applicants, getting an offer to a top business school has become slightly easier.【F4】
Of the 13 schools on which selectivity data was available, 10 admitted a larger percentage of applicants this year.
Most didn’t see dramatic shifts but, rather, saw selectivity drop by 2 or 3 percentage points. For example, Dartmouth College’s Tuck School of Business, the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management, and Brigham Young University’s Marriott School of Management all had dips in selectivity of 2 percentage points.
【F5】
To meet their target enrollment for this year’s incoming MBA class, schools had to work harder to ensure admitted students accepted their offers.
For many of those schools, that extra push paid off. Yield was up at nine of the 13 schools on which information was available. For instance, the yield at Southern Methodist University’s Cox School of Business increased 6 percentage points over last year; as a result, the size of the school’s incoming class—125 students— was about the same as last year, even though the school admitted 31 fewer students in 2012.
【F3】
选项
答案
同时,雇主们不再资助全日制工商管理硕士课程,然而在职MBA课程或网络授课对一些学生可能有很大的吸引力,特别是提供资助的项目。
解析
翻译本句时需要理解连词and在这里不再表示顺接关系,而是表示转折,将全日制MBA课程与兼职或网络课程作对比,翻译时一定要注意准确把握语义,建议采用增词法,增加“然而”一词,借以说明两个并列句之间的关系。此外,第二个并列句后接when引导的状语从句,翻译该从句时可以省略从句的连接词,直接译为“特别是提供资助的项目”,而不是“当提供资助时”。
