Harvard Club Of San Francisco To Host Fourth Annual MBA Admissions Panel

June 5, 2012 - PRLog -- San Francisco, CA— The Harvard Club of San Francisco will host its Fourth Annual MBA Admissions Panel on June 12, 2012, at the University Club, 800 Powell Street, San Francisco, CA. The theme for this year’s event is “Innovation and the MBA.”  Aspiring MBA students will be able to network, ask questions, get admissions advice, and learn what each program is doing to stay a leader in master business education. The event is open to all pre-MBA candidates.

The panel includes admissions representatives from the top business schools in the United States: Harvard Business School, Stanford Graduate School of Business, Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, Columbia Business School, and Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business.  It is the first MBA event in the Bay Area for the upcoming 2013 admissions cycle.  

Students find the group event useful and helpful in making their decision of where to apply “felt that I got a good sense for the differences among the schools,” said Andrew More of Ernst & Young.

Last year, 200 highly motivated MBA candidates attended the sold-out event. Each school that participated in the panel sent a representative again, relying on this popular west coast event to attract the very best business school candidates.

Price is $25 in advance, $30 at the door, and includes light appetizers.

Attire is business casual. Networking at 6 pm, program starts at 6:30 pm.
