關於對申請者的背景要求：
The 1 yr. program does not necessarily prefer older students-just folks with relavant business experience. The oldest student in the class is probably 35/36ish..I would say the avg. age is 28 or so.

With regard to the GMAT for the One Year Program, we do not place as much emphasis on the test when it comes to admissions decisions...we place the most emphasis on undergraduate coursework and professional experience
these factors are more important as students move through the coursework at a more rapid pace during the summer and without a solid foundation in bus. courses, we find students struggle academically...since you do not have the chance to do an internship, prior work experience is very important too.
GMAT scores become more important when making scholarship decisions with regard to the GMAT, going back to my earlier response, we use the GMAT, placing the most emphasis on the quantitative section. We expect applicants to have at least a 50% score on the Quant. section. Our competitive candidates will score at least a 680.

獎學金及錄取比例：
About a third of our applicants are accepted. It varies from year to year but I would estimate that one third receive merit-based scholarships that range from $2,500 to full-tuition awards. 3-5 full scholarship in the one year program.

Summer Term課程的緊湊程度：
as for the summer schedule, it is pretty intense. The schedule is roughly 8-5 everyday during the week (except Weds, which is a "reading" day to catch up)..Of course, you can study 24/7 if you choose, but you need to prioritize..I spent roughly 60-70 hrs a week. However, it also created a great bonding experience with my class mates..

就業情況：
79% had offers before graduation and 96% within 3 months of graduation. At graduation, international students with offers were approx 70%, only 10% points less than for the entire class. 3 months after graduation, I believe we had 3 Int'l students still seeking. (2005/11/29)
