Towards the end of the application season, Xiaobin has recently received many private messages from colleagues in the background, most of whom are asking if there are high ranking but relatively easy to apply graduate programs.
With the increasing number of applicants for graduate studies in the United States and the increasing competitive pressure, major universities are also preparing to open new projects. New projects often have a certain information gap and are relatively immature, so the number and difficulty of applicants will be relatively lower, which becomes a good opportunity for many students who aspire to prestigious schools but have relatively weak hard conditions to overtake on the bend.
So today, let's take a look with Xiaobin and see which "new projects" are suitable for picking up loopholes this year~
Yale University · Master of Technology Management
The School of Management (SOM) and School of Engineering (SEAS) at Yale University have announced the launch of a new Master of Technology Management program (MS in Technology Management), which will welcome its first enrollment this year.
