Are you interested in a MBA? Check out the QS World MBA Tour

As a recruiter I regularly attend job fairs. It took me a while to get used to the concept because employers are doing the selling. It is a great opportunity to make connections with recruiters/hiring managers and learn about the company. I was surprised to learn that some of the toughest schools to get into send representatives around the world to meet potential students.

The most prestigious fair for potential MBA students is the QS world MBA tour. It gives them the opportunity for a face-to-face meeting with representatives of the best business schools from around the world. Features of the fair typically include

• Workshops designed to help improve GMAT scores
• Admissions strategy workshops
• Career panel with MBA recruiters and alumni
• MBA masterclass from top professors

Some of the schools that participate in this fair are

• Harvard
• The Wharton School of Business
• UC Berkeley, Haas
• Cornell University, Johnson
• Columbia
• MIT among many others

The best part is candidates who attend the fair qualify to apply for scholarships worth over $1.6 Million. The admission officers also provide additional information on financing options. To find out if the tour is coming to a city near you, check out the schedule here.
