2 years of prep? that’s insane.

GMAT prep-- a few hours at a time spread out over a few months.

The rest? Done on an as-needed/when you’ve got the time basis. It took me a total of thirty seconds to ask my boss to write a recommendation- and then I had it a week later. She asked HER boss to write an additional one- I wasn’t even involved. And a quick phone call to my favorite professor from undergrad. How does that take two years? You need two years of work experience for the top schools (in most cases) but that doesn’t mean it takes two years to apply!!!

I think the strength of the economy and the ability for a kid with a BA to get a good job is driving the shift. The next recession- the apps come flying back.
