After the economy went south in 2008, many laid-off workers headed for business school to beef up their resumes while waiting for things to improve. The number of applicants has fallen from that peak, so is it easier to get into an MBA program now? Not necessarily. Temple's Fox School of Business saw an increase in enrollment this fall across its MBA programs. Vice Dean Rajan Chandran attributes the rise to marketing. "Instead of just getting students from this region, we're seeing more from elsewhere on the East Coast, the rest of the country and the rest of the world," he says.
