Many business schools offer info sessions and campus visits for those interested in applying for MBA programs.
This provides the opportunity to meet faculty members and current students, ask questions and sometimes even visit a class. Some schools will even let you attend an informal interview, so you can let them get to know you before you submit your application.
Many schools offer info sessions online for those who can’t visit the campus, and some even take their info sessions on the road to other states and countries.
