Page - 1
The MBA Tour organizes
conferences with the world's top MBA programs. The upcoming events in India this
September/October will feature 35 Business Schools from the USA, Canada,
Europe, Australia and Asia. The events will take place on September 29 in New
Delhi; October 1 in Chennai; October 4 in Bangalore; and October 6 in Mumbai.
To assist you in taking full
advantage of the MBA Conference, we have provided some helpful tips for you to
consider as you participate in the panels and meet with business school
representatives. This event is meant to be informative and enjoyable for
everyone; we hope these suggestions will help you as you learn more about the
different MBA options that exist around the world!
Tip: Confirm the
times and location of special sessions and try to attend before they fill up.
Having immediate access to admissions directors and alumni can be very helpful
in answering your questions, so try not to miss these informative events!
Tip: Try to visit
with each of the participating schools at this event. Admissions directors want
to meet you and learn more about your MBA interests and goals. The more you know
about your options, the easier it will be to make the decision that is best for
you!
Tip: Try and do a
little advance research on those schools you want to meet the most at the fair.
Even if you are unable to learn anything about these programs ahead of time, use
your time with the admissions director to ask those questions that you won't
find the answers to on the schools' web sites. Examples of questions to ask
school representatives include: -
-
What is a typical day like
for students at your school?
-
How accessible are faculty
members to students?
-
Are there opportunities for
students to get involved in research projects with faculty members?
-
How active is the Career
Services Office in helping students find internships and jobs?
-
What sorts of activities
exist for the spouses and partners of your current students?
-
How active is the alumni
network?
-
What is your city or town
like?
-
What makes an applicant to
your program successful?
