On the road with admissions...

Yesterday I particpated in the MBA Tour in downtown Chicago for the Illinois MBA. Tour events are geared towards prospective MBA candidates, where they are able to hear from admissions officers from different b-schools. We started out the event with an admissions panel titled "How Admissions Decisions are Made." Then I gave my presentation about the Illinois MBA, prospective students were able to choose what b-school presentations they wanted to hear. The evening wrapped up with school fair, where many alumni from the different schools were present to speak with prospective students.
