Abstract: Graduate business school programs have become increasingly reliant on international students to fill their classrooms. Because the United States is a top destination for candidates looking to pursue graduate management education (GME) abroad, understanding their views of the U.S. political and policy environment is crucial for business schools as they continue to build qualified cohorts of talent. This research brief identifies how the U.S. election impacts the likelihood of prospective international candidates pursuing GME in the United States. It incorporates data from the GMAC Prospective Students Survey, as well as other related ad hoc research surveys conducted by GMAC. The following time periods were used to cluster the data: (1) the time period following the 2016 presidential election; (2) the time period leading up to the 2018 midterm legislative elections; (3) the time period following the 2020 presidential election; and (4) the time period leading up to the 2024 presidential election. Overall, international prospective students have become more neutral toward the U.S. presidential election compared to past cycles.
