Booth announces no-cosigner loans

University of Chicago Booth announced No Co-Signer Loans for International Students in its official release. According to the University,

” The University of Chicago has signed a participation letter with the new International Student Loan Program (“ISLP”), which will provide loans requiring no co-signer to international students at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.”

So, I guess good news will keep coming now and the future students of the elite schools need not have to worry further.

How to Fix B-Schools-HBS

Harvard discusses in its blog “How to Fix Business Schools” and stresses on the importance of  “ETHICS”.

Very true, ethics is the just one of important things that one should look for a good human being but if the motive and purpose of the human being is not right, then nothing is going to bear right fruits. Though I am not an expert but I always strongly feel that the purpose of human being’s life is not money or his self life rather it is his motive and few things that he would like to do before he dies and leaves this holy world. When people ask to do soul search, we need to find out answers to few questions:

1. If I were to die tomorrow, what are the things I would have done by then?

2. If I were to die tomorrow, will I be dying happily with some satisfaction?

If the universities are going to find the soul of its students by sqeezing his/her soul, then the B-scholls will definitely be able to produce gems from the sea.

GMAT decides to redress itself

Yes, the GMAT is prepared to change its test format by 2013, according to an article in Economist.

According to the article, as several universities are moving to concentrated courses, GMAC is considering to redress itself to brace the new format of the MBA game but the new format of test, dubbed as the “Next-Generation GMAT”, will be done after consultation with the business schools.

“the test’s administrator, the Graduate Management Admissions Council (GMAC), says it is responding to changes in the business school market, such as an increase in specialised masters programmes and more variations on the traditional MBA.”
