Who makes the admission decisions?
The title “admissions officer” designates different people at different schools. Each business school has an admissions office that is responsible for reviewing and acting on applications for admissions to that school, and that admissions office designs its own procedures. The decision-making authority may be given to a committee of faculty members, or it may be given to a dean or to a professional admissions officer; it may be shared by faculty members and professional admissions officers; and some authority may even be given to selected students. “Admissions officer” can mean anyone who has the decision-making authority regarding applications for admission to an MBA program.
