Another good source of MBA information is The MBA Tour which is touring Canada for the first time October 30th to November 2nd.

CANADIAN MARKET INTERESTS INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS SCHOOLS
DRIVES EXPANSION OF THE MBA TOUR


Toronto – In 2005 alone, over 6,300 Canadians took the GMAT, the Graduate Management Admissions Test, a prerequisite for most MBA programs. Canada is third globally following the United States with 135,626 and India with 7,206 GMAT takers.

Canada is drawing attention from countries like England, Spain, China and the United States as they view the Canadian market one with untapped potential. The MBA Tour announced its expansion into Canada and its plans for three free-admission conferences in Vancouver on October 30, Toronto November 1 and Montréal on November 2.

“Canada has a reputation for quality education, young intelligent professionals who are interested in excelling in their careers and businesses that are well respected internationally,” said Peter von Loesecke, Managing Director, The MBA Tour, citing the reason for the expansion. “Business schools around the world are responding to that. They are asking us to help put them in front of the next generation of Canadian business leaders,” he said.

Canadians are seen as unique students because they often speak more than one language, are educated in a respected academic system and are comfortable living in a multicultural environment. Attending the Canadian conferences are 34 schools from nine countries. This is the most diverse interest shown by countries from around the world in a conference put on by The MBA Tour. International school representatives identify Canada’s multiculturalism and the open attitude of Canadian students to travel abroad as the reason.

“Top students from around the world come to Cornell to earn their MBA and each year we attract a strong group of Canadian applicants from nearly every province,” said Richard Sawyer, Director of Admissions and Financial Aid for Cornell University’s MBA program at Johnson School. “Our affiliation with The MBA Tour further solidifies our exposure to the best and brightest Canadian students.”

The MBA Tour conferences in Canada are preceded by The MBA Tour Decision Week, October 24-28. The awareness building initiative campaign is aimed at helping prospective MBA students consider the key issues that impact their decisions to apply to MBA programs. Prospective MBA students will be able to discuss their questions and decisions at an event locally: Vancouver October 30th 5:00 pm at the Marriott Vancouver Pinnacle Downtown; Toronto November 1st 5:00 pm the Metro Toronto Convention Centre and in Montréal November 2nd, 5:00 pm at the Centre Mont-Royal. Admission is free.

The MBA Tour is unique in that it offers plenty of opportunities to network with alumni, business school admission representatives, and naturally, other like minded education enthusiasts. Top business schools attending the conference include Cornell, UCLA, Berkeley, ESADE, and INSEAD.

Established in 1993, The MBA Tour is committed to ethical international recruitment that emphasizes the personal interaction between the business schools and prospective students.

To the managment team of THE MBA Tour. That wasn't cool to post this advertisement comment like that. Please discuss highlights of your events with me directly in the future. I will not tolerate SPAM advertising like this again. If this was not by THE MBA Tour, then readers of this Blog, please don't do this again. - Dave
