Testimonials

"It's challenging to juggle between working at home and other tasks but I didn't want to postpone my plans for an MBA. It was great to be able to talk to school admissions directors privately online about my options at the moment."

Olivia Ilie

"The format is quite compact, with many schools at the same time and place, and I had the opportunity to ask questions and get answers one-on-one right away."

Stellio Lestevre

"The Access MBA event I attended in Montreal has indeed been a game-changer in my MBA journey. To have the opportunity to meet admissions committee members face-to-face in small groups, and ask the many questions I had, allowed me to receive some personal guidance from those that would be making admissions decisions. I truly believe AccessMBA made the difference in me being accepted to my dream school, INSEAD, and even receiving a scholarship. "

Chris O’Brien

Most common questions

Is the event free?

Yes! Register and participate in the event free of charge. To guarantee the best possible event experience and secure school meetings, we recommend that you sign up as early as possible.

Are there prizes or scholarships?

Each attendee receives the Access MBA Guide latest edition & Admissions book by ClearAdmit. Attend 3+ meetings for a chance to win a GMAT course, $1000 scholarship, plus other discounts and incentives for consulting strategy sessions, test prep, and more.

Do I need to prepare for the event?

Before the event, we recommend you learn the main info about the MBA programs on your schedule. This allows your meetings to be spent on questions beyond the basics. Deeper, productive conversations with school representatives is what this event is all about.

Why attend? Can’t I just find info on school’s websites?

You’ll leverage the extensive knowledge of MBA Admissions Directors that’s most relevant to your own experience and interests. This is far beyond what any website could capture! Alumni panels and on-site industry experts arm you with insights to make the best possible choices in your journey to business school.

How does matching with schools work?

We’ll connect with you before the event to get to know your profile, interests, as well as any programs you want to meet with. This helps us to build your individual schedule of meetings. Our team is always available to make changes to your schedule if needed.

When should I arrive? How long is the event?

You’ll receive a schedule with your start time once you register. The full event runs for about 4-5 hours. School meetings are 20-25 minutes each. Most attendees meet with at least 3 schools, as well as participate in a few workshops and panels.

What do I need to wear?

There’s no dress code, but we recommend business casual to make a good first impression.

Can anyone attend the event?

Attendees must have a bachelor’s degree and a minimum 1-2 years of professional work experience. MBA programs at the event typically require between 2-8 years of work experience (after graduating undergrad). Requirements differ program to program.

Have questions? We are here for you:

The Access MBA team is composed of over 80 full-time and multi-lingual professionals that work on a daily basis to advance international business education from our offices in Paris, Sofia, Montreal and London.
