The cost of taking the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) exam can be prohibitively expensive for some B-school candidates, especially those unable to scrounge up the hefty $250 registration fee. The Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) is hoping to make a dent in that problem, starting a new program that will give business schools the option of waiving the testing fee for “underserved or economically disadvantaged” applicants, the organization announced today. Schools that participate will be able to receive up to 10 fee waivers, and in some cases more if the schools runs an admissions outreach program that targets students in these circumstances, GMAC says.
You knew it had to come to this eventually. Just when you thought the b-school curriculum at some programs couldn’t possibly get any more knowledge-lite (you can get an MBA in 8 months now) along comes this: At least one school is trading in a textbook for a comic book.

If you’re the type to take advice from country and western songs, then you no doubt already know that it’s a big mistake to let your kids grow up to be cowboys. Now I’m beginning to wonder whether the same injunction holds true for business majors. According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, which surveys college and university career services offices nationwide, the highest-paid disciplines are not in business.

There’s a really interesting, albeit not all that surprising, report from Catalyst , the group working to expand opportunities for women in business. In 2007 and 2008, Catalyst surveyed 9,927 alumni who graduated from 26 leading business schools in Asia, Canada, Europe, and the United States. Less than half, 4,143, were men and women who graduated from full-time MBA programs and were working full-time at the time of the survey

Not to beat a dead horse, but the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) recently came out with a new survey of MBA alumni that does a terrific job of quantifying what by now has become an all-too-familiar reality: 2009 was a tough year to be a b-school graduate. I won’t bore you with all the details–you can check out the report yourself at the GMAC web site
