2013 Application Trends Survey Methodology

Overview

GMAC conducted the 2013 Application Trends Survey from early June to mid-July 2013. A total of 328 graduate business schools and faculties participated in this survey and submitted data for 683 graduate management programs, including 482 MBA, 187 specialized master’s, 13 doctoral programs, and one joint-degree program in business and management fields.
