Students from seven top business schools will convene today with representatives from more than 30 companies for the first-ever “A Day in the Bay” MBA Interview Forum near San Francisco.
The event is open to first- and second-year students and Executive MBAs from each of the participating schools who are interesting in working on the West Coast. Participating schools include the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business, Cornell’s Johnson School, the University of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business, Emory’s Goizueta Business School, Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business, the University of Michigan’s Ross School and the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin.
The all-day event will take place today, April 9th, at the Embassy Suites Hotel near the San Francisco Airport. More than 30 companies have registered to participate, ranging from traditional banking and consulting firms to healthcare, information technology, media and marketing companies.

This type of event goes to show that the location of a b-school doesn’t restrict one’s job search. I hope that events like this will lead to more geographically diverse student bodies at schools that tend to have a lot of regional applicants. Who knows?
