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.
【F4】
选项
答案
现有的13所学校的淘汰率数据中,其中有10所学校本年度的录取比例大于上一年度。
解析
本句翻译的难点在于把握selectivity data和larger percentage的含义和关系。本段首句讲到近年拿到MBA入学通知的几率有所上升,那么录取的比例提高就意味着淘汰率的下降,这正是本句中selectivity data的含义:“淘汰率”;后半句中的larger percentage自然是指有所升高的录取率了。本句的主语部分10之后省略了宾语schools,翻译时需要使用增词法,译为“其中有10所学校”。
