Regarding the essays. 1. It is really important to do your self-analysis and research about the schools you're applying to. Spending more time up-front will make the process of preparing easier and your essays will be more effective. 2. This sounds basic–but make sure you answer the question. We'll get some really well written essays that don't actually answer the question we asked (can be a problem if you try to make an essay written for another application fit in ours). 3. Pay attention to the details–instructions regarding length, proofreading for spelling/grammar errors, cut/paste errors, etc. 4. Ask someone who knows you well to proof them for you–someone who can be critical. You may give them the essay without telling them what the essay question was and ask them what they thought the question is–just to check if your essay answers the question

Sure Eynat. In addition to the Dean's Scholarship, all candidates are considered for school-sponsored merit scholarships. These can range up to approximately half of annual tuition. The largest scholarships go to the strongest admitted students each year. In addition to scholarships, US Citizens and permanent residents may qualify for US subsidized loan programs and there are other loans that international students may qualify for with a US citizen cosigner. The university also offers a payment plan that can help students spread out their educational costs over time. Some of our students, mostly international students, are sponsored by their company.

To add on the previous message. Some of our Dean's Scholars are international students–including one from Israel this year.

Yes we do. We consider all admitted MBA students for scholarship–both US and international. Our top scholarship, the 'Dean's Scholarship' was awarded to 17 (out of 236) of our first year students this year. Dean's Scholars are selected by our Dean and receive a full tuition waiver to join the MBA program. All scholarships are awarded based on merit–using the information included in the MBA application.

Overall, our recruiting picture is showing some very positive trends. Our placement director recently reported that our graduating students have received about double the number of offers compared to the same time last year. You can find details here

It is also true that our domestic and international students fared equally well in last year's recruiting season. However, some companies that recruit on campus limit their recruiting to those that have citizenship or residency, which means that international students seeking job opportunities in the US need to put more effort into their searches. This means working through our alumni network, their personal networks, etc.

Hi omtrip,

We actually ask candidates to disclose all of their experience since high school and we consider everything when evaluating a candidate for admission. Some candidates have very meaningful experiences before completing their undergraduate degrees. Paths vary–but we're looking for people that have 'made a difference' in the positions they have held–contributors. People who have had a chance to hone their teamwork and leadership experiences, as well as refine their goals for the future.

Our admission policies are essentially unchanged. We have been working on updating our online process and features to make applying more convenient for candidates. For example, we've recently launched an 'MBA Online Community' for prospective Carnegie Mellon MBA students. You can find it here http://web.gsia.cmu.edu/default.aspx?id=142600

We're also launching online recommendations in the next couple of weeks. Our applications deadlines have changed a little. We developed a new MBA brochure that features our new depth 'Tracks'.
