Do most of Joness applications come from Texas or the Southwest region of the U.S.?
I’d say probably 50% currently do. We’re looking to go out aggressively in our marketing campaign to buttress our appearances at the MBA forums. We’ve also had the opportunity this spring to have an open house on the campus, and it has given us the opportunity to gain some exposure, introduce people to what we have to offer, and have faculty and the administration put on a favorable presentation. And we got favorable feedback from the 100 or so people who attended the event. Is it too late to apply to the Jones program? No, it’s not too late. We’ve extended the application deadline for this year to Apr. 15 for everybody. We work on a rolling admissions basis, and have already made 135 offers and received 40 positive deposits. Is there a separate deadline for scholarship? No, there’s no separate deadline for scholarship. Our offer letters contain the scholarship we have to offer if there is any. Let’s talk about the GMAT, the common variable used by all B-schools. How do you assess it?
