alpha_academic Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 For those who have been accepted or interviewed, how many students are being admitted in the program? I wonder how bad it will be with budget cuts and all. I'm interested in finance, but you can post info about your own program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possible_phd Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 It depends on the school and the program. For marketing, Cornell admitted 1, Wharton admitted 8 (hope to yield 4-5), Chicago admitted 6, Emory will admit 3 at most, etc. The variation is large.

shootermcgavin7 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Most programs are cutting back, although to different degrees. Programs that in a normal year would take 3 students appear to be taking 1-2. (Or none, depending on how poorly the state budget has been managed).

DUALUM Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Bad luck for those of us applying this year. Next year may be even worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpha_academic Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 My school has admitted 4 per year in the past, and now it's only admitting 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctoraldude Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 faculty hiring freezes might keep the admit numbers up, inspite of overall funding cuts (caution: unbridled speculation :P ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha_academic Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 That's true! Grad students are much cheaper to hire to teach classes than professors... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhDCPA Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 USC is accepting one or two new accounting students. I think in a normal year they would take two or three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They interviewed faculty at FMA this year (which was unusual for them) for this exact reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
