Note

I thank for your applying to the PhD program at Olin Business School – Washington University in St. Louis. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer you admission to the PhD Program for Fall 2010. As you probably know, the application process is quite competitive with many applicants considered for just a couple of slots. This year we will be admitting about 3-4% if our applicants. An applicant is evaluated based on the strength and breadth of academic background, experience, passion, aptitude, and ability to conduct research, GMAT/GRE scores, and letters of recommendation. This means that our decision mostly reflects the strength of your application vs. the other applications we received, rather than an evaluation of whether you can successfully complete a the PhD program at Olin. I wish you the best in your career pursuits.
