In recent posts to their admissions blogs, the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, the Stanford Graduate School of Business and Harvard Business School (HBS) have each announced that regularly scheduled class visits and information sessions will be suspended while students, faculty and staff are in exams and on winter break.
At Wharton, daily admissions information sessions, class visits, campus tours and student lunches have stopped for the fall semester and will resume on January 18, 2011.
At HBS, the last information session for 2010 will take place on Monday, December 20th, at 4 p.m. Information sessions will resume on January 3, 2011, at 1 p.m. The HBS MBA Admissions office will be closed from December 24, 2010, through January 3, 2011.
Meanwhile, at Stanford GSB, initial registration for winter class visits and information sessions began just last week. Those first information sessions, though, don’t take place until January 7, 2011, and class visits begin on Thursday, January 13th. The Stanford MBA Admissions Office will be closed for winter break from December 20, 2010, through January 2, 2011. On January 3rd, when MBA Admissions returns from break, it will be to a new address in the new Knight Management Center.
