This is interesting - hadn't thought about this. Could affect internationals relocating for sure. Curious to hear what others say.
Unless Trump extends the ban of foreign nationals entering the country to beyond Iran, don’t think it’ll impact the start of MBA programs or internationals relocating to the US - provided they still want to.
The corona virus may have the following impacts on MBA programs:
More long-term, here's what I see in my crystal ball:
Most importantly, if the virus continues to hurt the global economy and it sinks into recession, then application volume will increase as young professionals see less opportunity on the job or increased layoffs. They may also feel that two years of b-school is a great place to ride out the economic storm while improving their skills and advancing their career.
Combine this development with the increasing number of schools that have STEM designation, and next year will reverse the declining application volume trend that U.S. MBA programs have experienced over the last 3 years. How far down the MBA food chain/rankings this will go? Sorry, my crystal ball is too cloudy on that one.
This is some serious doomsday stuff.
Still the same? I figure MBA market will be out this year. US govt fucking it up - US bschools wont see many admissions and more deferrals- also VISA issue would be a problem , plus the issue of safety - who would go overseas when his/her country is more safe iimore
This.
US embassies are no longer working on or issuing non-essential visa. From March 20 for the foreseeable future.

Therefore international students won't be able to obtain relevant visa and also can no longer travel. Travel itself is disrupted to almost all destinations, so even a visa might not help.
I'm an incoming student to a top European MBA whose student body is typically 85% international... so this whole issue has been a big concern for everyone in my class. Fortunately, it looks like consulates and embassies are mostly operating for my school's country and they are also still providing visas. Hopefully this doesn't change.
