Preliminary figures indicate more students will apply to the Business School this year than ever before, Wynne Currie, director of admissions and financial aid at the Business School, said yesterday.
Currie said the increase stems primarily from a jump in the number of applicants who have had work experience after college.
The number of women applicants has also increased since the late 1960s, Currie said, while the pool of minority candidates has been steadily "creeping up."
Currie said the overall increase is part of a three-year trend. Last year the pool increased 15 per cent to 4250 applicants for 750 places, he said.
Many college graduates start working right after graduation and find they need a master's degree in business administration to "compete effectively with the masses of other people," Currie said.
