With fall and another busy travel period approaching, I wanted to take some time to talk about the opportunities coming up to meet with Ivey representatives nation-wide and internationally. So many graduates and current MBA students alike have spoken about how attending an event and meeting people from the school clinched their decision to come to Ivey.
We often speak about the importance of fit in the MBA decision. I don’t think this can be underestimated. The right fit can be uncovered in a variety of ways; obviously doing your research and learning as much as you can about the program and the school is an essential part of this. But if you have the opportunity to attend an event in-person, there is no better way to really get a sense of whether Ivey is the place for you.
A few quotes from our most recent Ivey MBA grads:
“To students currently looking at MBA programs: attend Ivey’s First Class on the Road event! I attended this session in Vancouver and it completely sold me on the program.”
– Derrick Wong, MBA 2013
“My first interaction with the Ivey community and the Ivey Case-Method was during the First Class on the Road event in Mumbai. It was an experience that was pivotal to my decision to pursue an MBA at Ivey.”
– Abhimanyu Shekawat, MBA 2013
“It is easy to get bogged down by various statistics in the media, but nothing is more true than physically being on campus, sitting in a live class, and speaking one-on-one with current students. Thanks to the class visit opportunity, I was able to get a good sense of the case environment at Ivey by being in the driver’s seat (and loving it).”
– Andrew Lam, MBA 2013
The reality is that many of you might not be able to attend a Class Visit or a First Class on the Road, but the wonderful thing about the upcoming fall season is that we will be at events and MBA Fairs as well as Connect 1-2-1 events taking place all over the world: Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong; Mexico City and Bogota; Bangalore, Mumbai, and Delhi; Edmonton, Vancouver, Calgary; Montreal and Ottawa; Toronto and London (both London, Ontario and London, UK), and many more.
Don’t miss out on the opportunity to come and talk to us! We look forward to meeting you this fall.
