 Hi,
  

   This is for a friend who is interested in applying to grad schools
   for an MBA and/or PhD in Business Management. In particular, he is
   interested in schools that offer financial support grad students. I
   understand that in this area, it is not very common to recieve 
   financial aid as a graduate student, at least not in the first year.
   But, I thought I will post this article and wait for responses from
   people out there who are more experienced with applying to a
   management program. I am in the CS department and have no clue how
   this works in other departments. This friend is in India and would
   really appreciate suggestions on where to apply.

   I believe he has a GMAT score of 96 percentile and a brilliant
   academic record. He also has work experience for 8-9 years now -- I
   guess the area is related to finance. Sorry about my ignorance here! 

   We were thinking of appications for Fall 1993. If you could comment on
   universities I can contact for an application, that would be great. 
   You could send me e-mail directly, (since this happens to be a very 
   specific question) at :  harini@cs.colorado.edu

   If there is sufficient interest in the info I have asked here, I can 
   post a summary. Also if you can help me better if I provide more
   information, I will certainly try to contact my friend for the same.

   Thanks very much.

   Looking forward to hearing from you....

I had a similar experience when I took my GRE's.
The students were told to go to one room but the exams and the
exam supervisors went to another on the other side of campus.
So of course we had to do the walking over.

And no the last section isn't necessarily the one is skipped.
I think  in my case the sixth section was the one that was repeated
so it could have been the experimental section.

Attention Graduate Students:

The National Science Board has formed a Commission on the Future of
The National Science Foundation.

This commission is seeking comments on how the NSF can best play a
role in the "health of the nation's academic system" and should NSF
play a greater role in linking academia and industry?

Comments can be sent to NBSCOMM@NSF.GOV.

To put this in context there is a growing sense in Congress that
with the end of the Cold War, more of our nation's research efforts
should be geared to enhancing our position in the global economy. 
Many in the academic community are concerned that this will
translate into less support for basic research.

NSF grants to faculty members are a vital source of financial
support and research training for graduate students. I encourage you
to remind the commission of this fact.

    It'd be especially good to know what kind of math she is interested
in.  It makes a big difference.  Some departments are more "pure" than
"applied," while others are the other way around.  Is there a specific
area or topic she is interested in?  That will help to weed out a lot
of potential options.

    Also, if she knows someone she'd like to have as a dissertation
advisor, she should probably go there.  All of my teachers advised me
to do that if I had a specific advisor in mind.

    Finally, her qualifications seem pretty good to me.  She shouldn't
have trouble getting into at least one good school, as far as I can
tell.  So, there are other questions: How much does geography matter
to her?  Would she be willing to go anywhere?  Each region has its
own kind of "feel" and has its own outstanding universities.

In fact, they do. I just took the exam last Saturday. They have a
list of conventions and notations at the beginning. The question is:
How useful are they?   B-)


Now question:
The booklet says that you have to socre 84-91 percent correct in order
to get a score of 900. Is that true? Can anyone give us a REAL range

    After hearing the speech twice, I think I know the story.   In
any case, the cancellation of the scores seems to be an option
for those who feel they did poorly on the exam, and don't want
it graded.   I do not think there is a recourse to saying that
the disturbance was to great, or the lighting too poor.  You end
up having to pay for a new exam, and having to go through the
same rigamorole (sp?) again.

     ETS could always make the next test free is the disturbance
was too great, but then that would make it an excuse to cancel
scores and claim that it was too disturbuing.  Of course, they
could ask the supervisor, but if the supervisor said it
was too noisy, wouldn't everyone's score have to be cancelled?
It seems therefore that either everyone gets disturbed or no
one does.  I don't know how one should be fair if one person
said they weren't disturbed while another person said they were.

     I myself took the exam at two different sites.  I took the
morning exam at Catholic University.   The room was fairly nice
with large desks.   I went in the afternoon to University of
Maryland, College Park, and the place was well lit, though the
desk size was a bit small, but it didn't seem to bother me that
much either.   The funny thing is that they tell the test-takers
to turn off their watch alarms.  Well, the building we took
the test is near the chapel on campus which plays some tune on
the bells.   The bells are probably louder than anything a
watch could produce, though since they are more melodic, it's
nicer to listen to that than a watch.  Of course, they couldn't
very well turn off the bells, could they?

     One thing I noticed, aside from the administration, was how
the tests attempts to eliminate "bias".  SAT's and GRE's have been
accused in the past of favoring those from moderately well-off
white families (middle class and above), especially males.  To correct
this, I have seen more use of the word "she", mention of Native
Americans, of those of Asian descent, and so forth.   While it's
no real big deal to me, I wonder how effective this has been.
Has this change caused various underrepresented minorities to
fare better on the exams?

Hmmm, here in Indiana University dorms one must pay $25.00 per month for
what they call `basic telephone service'. There is no cheaper options
(barring having no phone at all :))  Meanwhile residents of the city
of Bloomington can choose between flat rate (<~$15/mo) or proportional
rate (~$12/mo + $0.21 per each call over 30) + $0.69/mo for touch-tone.
