MBA Tour’s CEO Gives Tips for MBA Tour Attendees

Want to get a little face time with a lot of MBA programs in just a couple of hours?

It’s not speed-dating; it’s the MBA Tour. The MBA Tour organizes free events in cities throughout the world to help introduce future MBA students to the world's best business schools. Their events are designed to provide the information necessary to choose the best MBA program for a person's objectives and to learn good strategies to apply successfully. MBA Tour events offer different meetings and panels to encourage informal and personal interaction with participating business school representatives.

We recently caught up with MBA Tour CEO and Managing Director Peter von Loesecke for a Q&A about what the MBA Tour offers and how you can maximize your MBA Tour experience – before, during and after.

The first podcast points you to services available on the MBA Tour website to help you get ready for an MBA Tour event. Von Loesecke also clues you into some Do’s and Don’t’s to help you put your best foot forward and ask questions that will give you the information you need to make your MBA application deciscions.

The second podcast outlines the different formats for MBA Tour presentations, as well as recapping the basics for MBA Tour preparation and followup.
