Summary
Using the MBA program at Otago University as an example, this paper discusses the admission decision process for MBA programs. It focuses upon the case of mature adult mid-career applicants seeking admission to full time Executive MBA study. The importance of the best possible decisions for individual and business school is discussed. A strategy for admissions decisions based upon established employee recruitment and selection practices is described. Research at Otago concerning the ability of the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) and other criteria to predict subsequent performance of an MBA student is presented. The issue of Qualified Random Selection is raised as an alternative strategy for choosing among acceptable candidates for admission.
