This time it is Greg MacDonald, the Executive Director of Admissions at Simon Graduate School of Business Administration in Rochester, New York

Hopefully this is a sign of easing loan restrictions for Intl MBA Candidates at other schools as well: The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania announced the launch of a custom loan program with Digital Federal Credit Union (DCU) that will provide needed assistance to international MBA students who do not have a U.S. co-signer. The program, which covers tuition and living expenses, is also available to current first-year international students for their second year of study

In researching my next MBA Podcaster segment (working title: Avoiding Application Pitfalls), I’m talking to several schools to get their take on the most common mistakes MBA applicants make during the application process. Liz Riley Hargrove, Associate Dean of Admissions at the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University, sees a LOT of applications. She manages the admissions process for all of Duke’s MBA programs, from the regular daytime program to various Executive MBA programs.
