Nobel Laureate A. Michael Spence will join the NYU Stern faculty effective September 1, 2010. Spence also served as dean of Stanford Graduate School of Business from 1990 to 1999.

NYU President John Sexton stated, "Mike Spence's decision to join NYU's faculty conveys two very important messages. First, it is an affirmation of all of our efforts at faculty building – an economist of his reputation only joins an institution where he knows that there is a robust intellectual environment and he will have colleagues of the highest caliber. Second, in my conversations with Mike, he expressed a particular enthusiasm for NYU's development as a global network university, and an eagerness to participate in it; it is gratifying that this idea – so important to NYU's academic future – resonates so strongly with scholars of such stature and repute."

DNAIndia.com reported yesterday that several Indian applicants were caught plagiarizing b-school admission essays. Plagiarism can, and does, lead to revocations of admission offers and ignorance is not a valid excuse.

As discussed on page 53 of our new book Top MBA Programs: Finding the Best Business School for You, sample essays are not helpful and that is why we you will not find any of our site – a site, by the way, that contains literally thousands of pages of content. And if the whole having to write your own essay sounds unfair, consider how you will be judged in your post-MBA career.
