The virtual fair is a great opportunity for all individuals in the beginning stages of the MBA application process. During the event, MBA programs from around the world will host their own virtual booths, and will invite individuals interested in the school to stop by in order to ask questions and download information. Attendees will be able to meet with representatives – such as admissions offers, teachers and students – from the schools in attendance. The representatives will host virtual presentations and will engage in Q&A’s, group discussions and one-on-one chats. MBA programs joining the event include:
-Cambridge’s Judge School of Business
-Singapore Management University
-Hong Kong University
-IE Business School
-Thunderbird School of Global Management
-European Business School
In addition to meeting with representatives from the participating MBA programs, individuals who register for the virtual fair can attend live webinars focused on admissions strategy, including “Finding the Best Business School for Your “ and “GMAT Strategy.”Attendees will also be able to chat with other prospective students in order to network, solicit advice and offer tips.
As part of the event’s agenda, Clear Admit co-founder Graham Richmond will be conducting a seminar on application strategies. His session will take a look at the various aspects of a candidate’s profile that every admissions committee considers, such as academics, professional experience, career goals, outside activities and leadership capacity. Richmond will also discuss how you will be assessed, why admissions committees emphasize certain areas, and how you can best present yourself in the application process.
Additionally, Clear Admit admissions counselors will be available in the Virtual Networking Lounge to answer questions about the MBA admissions process during the event. In order to learn more about the event and to see a complete list of participating programs, make sure to visit the MBA Wired website.
