So, What’s Your Plan B?
As you sit down to hammer out those application essays, take a moment to read this entry from the Association of International Graduate Admissions Consultants blog. During the AIGAC conference in June, MBA admissions officers repeatedly brought up one element they want to see in the essays that come across their desks this application season: Tell us your back-up plan.
These days, it’s wise to balance your ambition with a dose of realism. If your dream job doesn’t land in your lap after graduation, how will you not only cope with that sobering reality, but thrive? If you can demonstrate a willingness to make less-than-ideal circumstances work in your favor, you’re already ahead of the game.

Next Generation GMAT Exam Now in Development
The Graduate Management Admissions Council (GMAC), which owns the GMAT entrance exam, is currently developing a Next Generation GMAT, slated for completion in 2013.
Through a three-phase development process, GMAC hopes to build on the strengths of the existing exam by incorporating advances in testing technology to better measure prospective applicants’ skills. It also hopes to expand the range of skills tested by the exam to include those applicable to both traditional MBA programs and newer business programs that have emerged in recent years.
As part of the first phase of development, now underway, an advisory group of faculty members from leading business schools is helping GMAC identify and review potential new skills the GMAT could measure. This advisory group met on February 11th to rate the importance of various skills and recommend changes to the GMAT.
“The process of preparing for the Next Generation GMAT has been both well-planned and extremely sensitive to the needs and concerns of business schools,” said advisory board member Luis Palencia, who is associate dean of the MBA program at IESE Business School. “If this first stage is an indicator of the final result, I know that the new exam will be innovative, valuable and successful,” he added.
Using the first-phase research, the second phase of development will involve designing and testing exam enhancements to ensure that they meet business schools’ needs. The third phase will focus on exam accessibility, including upgrading test centers as necessary, developing test preparation materials for the new exam and examining ways to make the exam available to more test takers without compromising security.

New Pearson Test of English Language Ability Sees Rapid Growth
Hundreds of world-class colleges and universities around the world are now recognizing Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE Academic), a new international computer-based English language test endorsed by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC).
In less than a year since the state-of-the art computer-based English language test was first announced, more than 300 programs have chosen PTE Academic as an accurate measure of the English language proficiency of candidates for admission who are non-native English speakers.
London Business School, Cornell’s Johnson School, Georgetown McDonough, USC Marshall and HEC Paris are just some of the top business schools that recognize PTE Academic from candidates for admission.
“As the academic community has grown increasingly more global, colleges and universities have a greater need than ever before for an innovative, accurate measure of the English languages abilities of the non-native English speaking candidates that they are considering for admission,” said Mark Anderson, President, Pearson Language Tests.
“We are proud of the widespread acceptance of PTE Academic and excited to launch the test internationally from October 2009.”
