Whether you are
still exploring the benefits and options of an MBA or
ready to tackle those applications and essays, Forums and Fairs are a great
resource!
I attended a
Forté Forum before taking the GMAT and long before I knew which programs I was
applying to. The Forum brings together
MBA women and admissions representatives and allows you to make connections and
learn which program is right for you!
Below are a few tips for attending forums and fairs:
·
Do your research. Take some time to study the schools and panelists
attending the forum. What are the
application deadlines? Are the classes
lecture or case based? What kinds of
clubs are available for MBA students to participate in? Did one of the panelists attend your Alma
matter? What motivated them to pursue an
MBA? Come prepared with questions to
make the most of your forum experience.
·
Arrive early. Many
admissions representatives will be setting up their booths and preparing their
materials. Arrive early and you’ll have
a chance to network before the event begins.
·
Dress the part.
Make an impactful first impression by wearing business professional
attire. Adding a pop of color to your
ensemble or wearing a statement necklace will make you stand out among the crowd!
