Check out some of the highlights and most pressing questions below before delving into the video:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One question on many applicants\u2019 minds is whether the percentage of international applications declined in the most recent admissions season, and by how much. According to the admissions officers, international applications are indeed on the decline, but perhaps not as dramatically as some might think.<\/li>\n<li>Many exciting things are happening at each of the schools represented in the chat. For example, Chicago Booth welcomed a new dean recently, while Yale SOM has welcomed a plethora of new faculty members.<\/li>\n<li>Stay tuned for Yale SOM essays and deadlines for the 2018\u20132019 admissions season. Those will be out within just a few weeks!<\/li>\n<li>Applicants who choose to take the GRE in lieu of the GMAT can ease their minds\u2014all admissions officers agreed that there is absolutely no preference for one over the other!<\/li>\n<li>Other popular questions included the following: Should applicants shy away from applying in Round 3, and does applying in Round 3 put one at a disadvantage? How about at Columbia Business School, which accepts applications on a rolling basis?<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mbamission.com\/blog\/an-overview-of-deferred-admissions-mba-programs\/\">Deferred admission programs<\/a> are attracting more and more interest. Are the schools taking advantage of this? Columbia Business School and MIT Sloan say yes but stay mum on the details for now.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For the entire in-depth discussion on these topics and much more, click play!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b0uVg70ZVl4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the 2018\u20132019 admissions season quickly approaches, many MBA hopefuls have burning questions that they wish they could ask the admissions officers of top-ranked business schools. mbaMission is here to help!
