Find the right MBA
Our
skoolix search tool was developed to narrow down the MBA programs for you to consider.
However, it will not replace other more valuable resources to find the right MBA for you.
One of the best ways to find out if a business school really clicks with you is to go visit the place. You will want to attend an information session, go to a lunch with current students, or sign up for a class visit. If the MBA program you want to check out is too far from where you live, then go to their website and see if they will host an information session in your area. Or go to our
Useful Links page to find an MBA fair where your business school is participating. Another valuable source of information are alumni. Note that some MBA programs ask you in their application what you have done to find out more about them (e.g. Haas). So if you live in the same country as your favorite business school then visiting their campus is almost a must.
Tip: Since some applications ask where and when you attended an event, you might want to record those logistics. Also, collect business cards or write down the names of any admissions officers, professors, current students, or alumni you talked to. Take good notes of any relevant information you obtain from conversations with these people (also take good notes during information sessions). This will allow you to better answer the "Why MBA program XYZ"
essay question.
