Two of the schools I'm interested in extended their fall admissions deadlines for their MBA programs. One is one of the top 5 schools in Canada, that extended its deadline for 3 extra months, the other is a school that recently established a graduate program. That school's Fall admissions period is actually still open. Both schools say it's due to an "overwhelming response", but if there was an overwhelming response, why would they extend their deadlines to solicit more applicants??
Do schools just say its due to an overwhelming response so they won't look bad for not receiving the amount of applications they expected?
Do grad schools usually see a decline in applicants during a recession? Or an increase in applicants since more companies are downsizing and its hard to find jobs?
