International student market shifts - less interest from China and significantly more from Western Africa - especially Nigeria and Ghana. Many more programs dropping GRE/GMAT. #EMChat

Congrats!! #EMChat

Love walking - outside and in. I started OrangeTheory this year and power walk the treadmill sections.

Whew. I admire you. I’m not a runner by a long stretch! #EMChat

A3. Focus on balance and personal health. New fitness routine that’s challenging and fun. It’s cliche, but you can’t pour from an empty cup. #EMChat

A2. I’ve been focused on demos. Haven’t implemented much new tech this year aside from Marketo, but getting an idea of what’s out there and how the puzzle pieces might fit. #EMChat

A1. The answer of the year - AI. Been surveying what’s out there in terms of Admissions tools and using ChatGPT to draft for me because it’s so much easier than starting from a blank page!

Hoping to be worried about dissertation writing by this time next year! What’s your topic?

Thanks for getting this going again, Will! I’m Kelly and I work in graduate admissions at Johns Hopkins Univ. - Carey Business School in Maryland. Hoping to get more grad conversation going! Also recently took up tap dancing again, so I’m also up to talk time steps. #EMChat
