| Admit Advantage and The Black Ivy Alumni League are offering a modern look at how candidates can best prepare, early in your career, to successfully gain admittance to a top tier MBA program. We will have a frank, insightful, and open discussion with dynamic, African-American panelists -- MBA alumni from Wharton, HBS, and Columbia who will talk both about the admissions process and how to successfully leverage an MBA once you have one.
Please come with lots of questions!
This event is intended for alumni who are thinking of applying in the future and are seeking to improve their professional and personal profile to mount an aggressive push with their application. It is part 1 of a series. Part 2 will be focused on the GMAT and the MBA application.
