In the last few weeks, a handful of top business schools have reported single-digit, and in some cases double-digit, declines in applications for their full-time MBA classes, including most recently Columbia Business School and New York University’s Stern School of Business. It turns out they’re not alone. Full-time MBA applications have sunk at least a dozen of the top 30 B-schools, according to class profile data of 17 business schools obtained this week by Bloomberg Businessweek.
Among the schools that have reported declines are the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business, the Yale School of Management and Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business(down 3.5 percent, 9.5 percent, and 7 percent, respectively).【F1】
A handful of schools reported even steeper drops, including Michigan State University’s Broad College of Business, where applications fell 18 percent, and Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business, with a significant dip of nearly 21 percent.
【F2】
Timothy Smith, the senior associate director of admissions and financial aid at the Kelley School, attributes the decline in applications to increased competition from rival business schools and a overabundance of available choices, including part-time and online programs.
Second-tier schools are working more aggressively to recruit top MBA candidates and entice them with hefty financial aid packages, he says. Kelley has 177 students in its incoming MBA class this year, down from 213 the year before.
"The pool has been fragmented most aggressively this year with part-time, online, and other options," Smith says. "There is no doubt about it, the number of students hasn’t increased, and there are more players at the table.【F3】
At the same time,(employer)sponsorship for full-time MBA programs is almost nonexistent, and doing an MBA part-time or online can be an attractive offer for some students, especially when there is funding available
. "
With a smaller pool of MBA applicants, getting an offer to a top business school has become slightly easier.【F4】
Of the 13 schools on which selectivity data was available, 10 admitted a larger percentage of applicants this year.
Most didn’t see dramatic shifts but, rather, saw selectivity drop by 2 or 3 percentage points. For example, Dartmouth College’s Tuck School of Business, the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management, and Brigham Young University’s Marriott School of Management all had dips in selectivity of 2 percentage points.
【F5】
To meet their target enrollment for this year’s incoming MBA class, schools had to work harder to ensure admitted students accepted their offers.
For many of those schools, that extra push paid off. Yield was up at nine of the 13 schools on which information was available. For instance, the yield at Southern Methodist University’s Cox School of Business increased 6 percentage points over last year; as a result, the size of the school’s incoming class—125 students— was about the same as last year, even though the school admitted 31 fewer students in 2012.
【F1】
选项
答案
少数学校甚至是急剧下降,这其中包括密歇根州立大学的博得商学院,其申请人数下降了18%,而美国印第安纳大学的凯利商学院,其申请人数的降幅接近21%。
解析
本句翻译的关键在于处理好现在分词including结构,该结构在语法结构上应该是主句的状语成分,对前面的主句A handful of schools reported even steeper drops进行补充说明,因此可在including前添加代词,采用增词法翻译成:“这其中包括……”两所学校分别由where引导的定语从句where applications fell 18 percent和介词短语with a significant dip of nearly 21 percent修饰,具体说明其下降的程度,翻译时建议采用顺译法,在学校名称之后用数字说明其情况。此外,结合上下文可以判断句中的drops和dip两词的含义是一样的,译作“下降,下滑”。
