Meet Leading Admissions Directors, Clear Admit Editor-in-Chief at Upcoming Events in San Francisco, DC
Admissions directors from seven leading business schools will convene for two upcoming multi-school MBA admissions events, one next week in San Francisco and a second the following week in Washington, DC. Moderated by Clear Admit Editor-in-Chief Jeanette Brown, each event will feature representatives from Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, Cornell’s S.C. Johnson Graduate School of Management, Duke’s Fuqua School, Michigan’s Ross School, NYU Stern School, UVA’s Darden School, and Yale School of Management (SOM).
As part of these unscripted discussions, admissions directors will share tips not available on the schools’ websites as they answer hard-hitting questions designed to give attendees a head start on the application process. Applicants themselves will have an opportunity to pose their own questions both as part of a Q&A session at the end of the moderated panel discussion, as well as during an hour-long admissions fair that will take place during the second hour of each event. During the admissions fair, alumni from participating schools will also be present to answer questions about student life and the culture at each school.
The first event will take place at the San Francisco Omni Hotel, located at 500 California Street, on Thursday, May 10th, from 7 to 9 p.m. The second will take place at the Renaissance Washington, DC Downtown Hotel, located at 999 9th Street, NW, on Wednesday, May 16th, also from 7 to 9 p.m. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. for each event, and attendees are encouraged to arrive early for registration and informal mingling with admissions directors and alumni from the participating schools.
These events are open to anyone looking to apply to or enroll in an MBA program, especially the full-time programs at the host schools. Both events are free, but advance registration is requested. To register for the San Francisco event, click here. To register for the DC event, click here.
Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn firsthand about seven leading business schools in a single evening.
