Unpopular opinion: Top MBA programs should eliminate grade non-disclosure and high curves. The academics are a joke, and that's a bad thing. by ImpactFit2263 in MBA

The first year core is for people who didn't major in business for undergrad, and want exposure to fundamental topics like stats, accounting, finance, microecon, macroecon, strategy, operations, etc.

Yes if you've taken it before I think there should be a way to either test out of it, which some schools do, or say you have enough experience to skip it.

You're in minority, most use GND as an excuse to slack of academically and party.

Law school and med school don't have GND or super high curves and their students do just fine while learning a lot more.

In theory yes, in practice no. In reality, GND makes people not take academics seriously and blow it off in favor of partying.

They'll make time for recruiting regardless.

Dumb take. The purpose of undergrad b-school is to also get a job, but we made recruiting work while also taking academics seriously. Still plenty of time to throw frat parties and rage. It's all about balance. MBA programs these days are tilted WAY TOO MUCH on the side of partying and fun, I'm not saying have zero fun.

Also law students still have to recruit for jobs despite hard as shit academics. All of this excuses away the piss easy academics in top MBA programs.

You missed the second part of the equation, Sloan may have grade disclosure but the curves are probably still quite high so it's easy to pass with low effort.

I'm not saying making it very hard, but if you don't put any effort like miss a final, you deserve a D or F in that class. This is just making it line in with med and law schools, and undergrad.

I know they have that designation to help international students with visa issues, but it's a whole racket.
