WORKSHOP Confirmed! “Everything You Need to Know About MBAs”

supermimi — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 23:24:19 +0000

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MBAs

Considering applying for an MBA? Learn about what the degree could do for you and how to get in if you do apply. Acceptance rates for the top programs are as low as 10%, so get all the smart advice you can before diving into the process.

To help get you started and answer your questions about applying in the competitive MBA admissions process, we have invited The MBA Exchange, a leading top-tier admissions consulting firm to provide this informative workshop. This session will be led by Karen Lee, a Kellogg MBA, a former associate admissions director at UCLA Anderson and former S&P 500 / Fortune 500 MBA recruiting manager.

Workshop topics will include:
·        Business School Selection – Why the MBA could help you, and selecting schools
·        The GMAT: Why it matters, why it doesn’t
·        Application Strategy & Timing: When to start, how quickly
·        Setting Goals and Telling your Story
·        Self Assessment
·        Recommendations
·        Essay Development
·        Interviews
·        How to maximize advice/help from others (how to work personal/unpaid advisors, as well as what to look for in hired admissions consultants)

Any questions will be addressed in an extensive Q&A. The MBA Exchange has also been invited to share expertise in seminars at the Goldman Sachs, the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Citigroup, Deloitte Consulting, and the Private Equity Associations of Los Angeles, Chicago and Boston.

ABOUT KAREN LEE:
An MBA graduate of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, Ms. Lee previously served as associate director of MBA admissions at the Anderson School of Management at UCLA. Before that, she was director of the Asian Pacific Alumni Program at the University of Southern California.
