One More Requirement For College Admittance
Test scores? Check. Application? Check. And now, the slideshow
University of Chicago’s Graduate School of Business will begin requiring prospective students to submit PowerPoint-like slides with their applications this fall. PowerPoint and similar programs have become ubiquitous tools in the business world. But the school says so-called slideware, used correctly, can also let students show a creative side that may not reveal itself in other application materials. The requirement could be called corporate America’s surrender to a technology that often gums up the flow of information up by encouraging bureaucratic jargon. Imagine what a kick the admittance council must be having just judging your life based on a slideshow.
