Talk:Huntsman Program in International Studies and Business
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] IS&B page
hey guys i'm an incoming freshman for the class of 2011 (currently on deferred status due to my country's military service requirement) i know the jerome fisher page is languishing and up for deletion but i really thought that much more could be said about huntsman as it is a relatively younger program and thus offers a much better opportunity for a comprehensive coverage including history and alumni listing now rather than later. I am also organising available information from both the huntsman program and wharton website as it is very disorganised and unhelpful for prospective applicants and incoming freshmen alike - in terms of the gritty details like actual minimum per-semester courseload. So yes there is going to be alot of repeat stuff but hopefully reorganised in such a way as to serve as a better and directly useful supplement for those who would want to know a whole lot more about the program minus the obfusticating sales pitch. its also my hope in publicising the creation of this page that current and ex huntsman students can post up their own facts of each class. i couldn't get any hard stats on admissions stats so i had to post up speculative estimates that should give the reader a rough idea of what he is in for. (their website does not offer this). Hopefully the page can develop into a very detailed resource for 1) prospective students to find out its plus (and minus) points, admission selectivity, and courseload requirements, 2) incoming and present students to plan ahead and learn from the achievements and activities of predecessors, and 3) alumni to establish a "where are you now" level of networking (also serves as a good base for future wikipedia links as these alumni go on to make a name for themselves). I myself am a new wikipedian and quite inexperienced with all this metawiki stuff so the image and organisation of the page could use alot of help too. hahaha k better not say too much. the value's in the doing. ahwang 17:52, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
well the huntsman alumnus article is already up for deletion. progress! anyway, i just petitioned kim from their admin office for better and uptodate stats, the huntsman site was like last updated in 2004. u'd think they could put up some solid stats at least once a year for applicants and students' information. and yes i know the current stats on admissions in the article are pretty iffy. but that's all we have to go on and some idea of it is better than none. i put in the source there for readers to have a look and decide on the source's reliability for themselves. but beggars can't be choosers, given how its the ONLY source now... ahwang 10:03, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
ahwang 10:46, 11 June 2006 (UTC) Todo: #research submatriculation and accelerated study options
- get hard admissions stats
- recompile huntsman alum data to show language and business concentration popularity as percentage of class(es)
- confirm exactly what kinds of classes one can take abroad
- rename the links in the links section
- current info on present ('06-'09) students -- this would change after '10 students matriculate
- add in bit about Huntsman Day
- pictures of huntsman floor, Kings court and the huntsman building/office itself.
