This weekend, UCLA Anderson’s Full-time MBA admissions team kicks off its participation in The MBA Tour — a series of MBA fairs nationwide tailored for prospective students — at events in San Francisco and Los Angeles (today).
Interested applicants who attend The MBA Tour events have the chance to meet directly with admissions officers and alumni from various universities, learn about different programs and get a better sense of the culture of each school.
“You’re able to really ask us questions, probe a little deeper than perhaps you could just by looking at a website, and find out if the school that you’re targeting or thinking about is the right match for you,” says Adrian Aguirre, UCLA Anderson associate director of MBA admissions and financial aid.
Aguirre also offers some tips and “questions to avoid” for those planning to attend. For instance, come with a 15- or 30-second pitch, be ready to talk about your post-MBA plans, and avoid questions about rankings. Watch his short video of “MBA Fair Do’s and Don’ts” here.
UCLA Anderson’s admissions team will participate in The MBA Tour throughout the month of July, with upcoming events in Houston (July 21), New York (July 25), Chicago (July 27), Washington, D.C. (July 29), and Boston (July 30).
