What is the outlook for minority MBA applicants?
The prospects for minority business students continue to improve as an increasing number of schools prioritize a diverse student body. According to the GMAC 2001 Application Trends Survey, 31 percent of 127 b-schools actively recruited minorities. Across the board, schools are emphasizing the importance of diversity in business programs. Nevertheless, the number of African-American, Hispanic and Native American students in business programs is still quite small, and schools are eager to improve the statistics.
