<p>Sorry if there is already a thread on this but I searched and found nothing significant.
Because of this current economic quagmire, do you guys think that the number of applicants to business schools will decrease for the class of 2013 with the CURRENT low prospection of jobs?</p>
<p>I think so, and that's a great thing for those who realize that job prospects now aren't going to be the same as in 4-5 years.</p>
<p>agreed. and even if things arent better by then, getting an mba would look good and would give the economy an extra year or two to recover</p>
<p>if you look at historical data, more specifically how the dotcom boom/bust affected college students in information technology majors, there is evidence that there will be a significant drop in b-school enrollment. But after every major stock market crash there has been the biggest boom our economy has ever seen, so when I graduate (2012) there will be less competition in a (hopefully) booming field.</p>
<p>There will unquestionably be a drop in the number of finance majors.</p>
