HSW Bschool R1 Results

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you need to know about the impact on PE applicants this cycle:

• Increased Applications: Applications were up 34% last cycle, and this year is expected to be similar.
• Tougher Year for PE Applicants: It has been a tougher year overall for PE applicants. Firms have reported worse outcomes than usual, with many more people applying in Round 2 (R2) this year.
• Round 1 (R1) Recommendation: R1 stats were okay but still slightly worse than usual. It is recommended to apply in R1 if you're interested in applying.
• Diversity Focus: Schools are focusing more on diversity, which can be a headwind for typical PE applicants who are often white/ORM/male.
• Market Saturation: The market is oversaturated with PE folks, making it more challenging to stand out.
