Since classes wrapped up in mid-December, Yale SOM students have been hosting events in their home towns and elsewhere to give prospective students a chance to interact directly with students and learn more about Yale SOM’s curriculum, community and mission. Though the calendar year is winding down to a close, the Economist is already gearing up to host its next Which MBA? online fair in early February. Registration for this free event, which will take place February 6-7, 2012, is now open. The Economist’s Which MBA online fair series is designed to connect prospective MBA applicants with officials from dozens of business schools to learn more about the individual school’s programs and application processes. Yesterday, Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business hosted a discussion around the Occupy Movement’s issues and goals and the implications for business. Coined “Where’s the ‘I’ in Occupy?” the event was designed to give Georgetown students a platform in which to explore the issues of financial, political and social inequality raised by the protest movement that has taken hold across the nation’s cities over the past several weeks. The admissions office at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business will host a live chat about student life for prospective applicants to the MBA program tomorrow, Tuesday, November 29th, at 11 a.m. CT. Current students from the Chicago Women in Business (CWiB) club will be available to answer questions related to classes, professors, student groups, career services and the alumni network, as well as about social activities and living in Chicago. Speaking recently as part of student-organized speaker series at the Kellogg School of Management’s Saturday MBA Program, Kellogg Dean Sally Blount advised students that true leadership begins with strong, inspired work and is supported by building relationships and fostering dialog. “You want to be known as a person who makes things happen, but does so in an understated, collaborative way,” she told the part-time students. “People want to work with people like this.” Posted by Clear Admit on November 11, 2011, at 1:00 pm Posted in: Events , MBA News , School: Stanford Acronyms abound at Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB), and an important one is EAP, which stands for Exclusive Academic Period. What’s that, you ask? EAP refers to the first six weeks of school, when first-year MBA students are supposed to place an exclusive focus on their academics. It’s “kind of a ‘no-fly zone’ where organized extracurricular activities are put off until after midterm exams,” writes Allison Davis, associate director of MBA admissions, in a recent post to the Stanford MBA Admissions Blog. “The idea is that incoming students can get used to being back in school without having to juggle a full calendar,” Davis continues. EAP came to a close at the GSB on November 1st, and without missing a beat students organized a huge Student Activities Fair on November 2nd, where all the student clubs came out to recruit. More than 70 clubs were represented, ranging from the Africa Business Club, the Energy Club, the Rugby Club, and even GSB Dogs – a group for GSB dogs, dog owners and dog lovers. Later this month, Judge Business School at Cambridge University will welcome Internet entrepreneurs and innovators from Silicon Valley as part of the annual “Silicon Valley Comes to the UK” (SVC2UK) event. The theme of this year’s event is “Economy 2.0: rewriting the rules.” The event, scheduled for November 16th through 19th, will take place during Global Entrepreneurs Week. Distinguished Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, including Google Vice President of New Business Development Megan Smith, LinkedIn Co-Founder Reid Hoffman, and Threadless CEO Thomas Ryan, will discuss the future of technology and education through a range of keynote addresses and other events. Posted by Clear Admit on November 3, 2011, at 8:00 am Posted in: Events , Interview: Harvard , School: Harvard As part of a series of business school-specific events on Beat the GMAT’s MBA Watch, Graham Richmond, co-founder and CEO of Clear Admit, will be the featured guest of an hour-long Harvard Business School (HBS) chat scheduled for Tuesday, November 8 at 12pm EST. Whether you’ve just begun to think about applying to HBS, have already outlined your essays for Round 2 or are busy practicing for an upcoming admissions interview, this is the ideal opportunity to have your questions answered by an admissions expert. During the session, Richmond will be fielding questions about application strategies for Round 2 as well as the HBS interview process as it pertains to both R1 and R2 candidates. Questions about Harvard’s essay questions, typical interview queries and admissions philosophy, among other things, are all fair game. If you’re applying or considering submitting an application to Harvard during the 2011-2012 admissions cycle, be sure to tune in next Tuesday from 12-1pm EST to get the latest insight from the Clear Admit team.
