Admissions staff from top schools like Harvard Business School (HBS) and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania are circling the globe in the weeks ahead to meet prospective applicants in the countries where they live.
Next week, HBS will host MBA Admissions events in Paris, Tokyo, Shanghai* and Beijing. South American events, in Peru and Argentina, are scheduled for later in the summer, in July. These outreach events are designed to give prospective applicants an opportunity to meet representatives from the HBS community and learn more about the MBA program and the admissions process. Interested participants are asked to register online to attend upcoming events. For a full schedule, click here.
Meanwhile, admissions representatives from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania are also on the road, with events scheduled throughout Europe and Asia over the next few weeks. Stops still ahead include Spain, France, Russia, Bulgaria, Turkey, India and China. Admissions officials will be joined by Wharton alumni in each location, who will share their Wharton experiences with candidates who are considering a Wharton MBA. Like HBS, Wharton will also head to South America in July, and an additional event is scheduled in Egypt in September. More events may be added in the weeks ahead, the school says.
