Abstract: The annual Application Trends Survey from the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC™) provides the world's graduate business schools with data and insights to understand current trends in applications sent to graduate management education (GME) programs. This year's summary report begins with information from new survey questions about first-generation applicants, the response to artificial intelligence (AI) in GME, and new degree or non-degree offerings. Later, it explores volume trends by program type, selectivity, class size, and program delivery methods; applicant pool composition by work experience and geographic mobility; and diversity enrollment with a focus on women and U.S. underrepresented candidates. Regional profiles examine application trends and class characteristics within markets, including a comparison by degree type in the United States due to a much larger sample size. For reference, summary statistics for regions that reported sample sizes that were insufficient to draw conclusions about the broader population are available in the appendix. The 2023 survey collected data on applications received by GME programs for the 2023-2024 academic year. Between June and August, 893 programs at 247 business schools worldwide provided responses. Participating programs are located in 32 countries, including 37 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, and reflect the growing diversity of global GME offerings. The total sample includes 413 MBA programs, 456 business master's programs, five postgraduate programs (PGP), and 19 doctoral programs. More details about this year's participating programs can be found in the participant profile section of this report. The 2023 report details this year's survey findings and uses data from past surveys to display trends over time. Select portions of the report also incorporate findings from other GMAC data sources to provide additional context and insight. In these instances, the data are sourced in footnotes.
