I wonder if the number of applicants to HBS has decreased. If so, it might be a good time to apply if you are interested.

- ryanwaggoner 18y agoIt's probably just the opposite. A lot of those people who got laid off are probably heading back to school, and while it might be hard to get a job now, the value of having HBS on your resume lasts a lot longer than this recession will.
- chris11 18y agoThat's basically what I heard. Basically there's a positive correlation between unemployment and grad school enrollment. I've under the impression that your pay over the total time spent at a company can really depend on starting salary. So college graduates hope to wait out the bad market by going to grad school. And the unemployed hope to improve their job prospects by going back to school.
