International applicants to U.S. MBA programs face greater obstacles than usual as more loan programs require co-signers and acquiring visas to study and work in the United States has become more difficult. BusinessWeek has asked Clear Admit’s own Graham Richmond to help address international applicants’ questions and concerns as part of an upcoming online chat scheduled for August 18th.
Richmond, Clear Admit’s CEO and co-founder, has spent almost 15 years working in MBA admissions, including as an admission counselor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, where he himself earned an MBA. Clear Admit has long been a resource for international applicants to U.S. MBA programs, and as part of the BW chat, Richmond will answer questions about everything from student loans to student life on American campuses.
The online chat will take place on Tuesday, August 18th, at 12 noon ET. To participate, head to the Business Schools homepage on BusinessWeek.com about 10 minutes before the event is scheduled to begin. Look for a promo for the chat on the right hand side of the page toward the bottom. To enter the Chat Auditorium, click on the promo. (If you haven’t already registered for the site, you’ll be asked to do so then. Registration is free and should only take a few minutes.)
Prospective international MBA applicants, you won’t want to miss this chance to pose your questions to Richmond directly. For more specific details on loans for international students, also consult the Clear Admit International Student Loan Scorecard.
