I just got back from the Inside the MBA event. This was a pretty informative event. I would suggest any applicants attend this event if there is one in your city.

Here is kind of how the evening went:

-Registration and small chat
-Introductions and some quick application tips
-Panel Q&A
-One on one time

These events are a great opportunity to meet with people from the admissions departments and ask whatever questions are most important to you. My only two complaints:
1) Not all my target schools came to Pittsburgh
2) The only students/alum were from the two local schools (Pitt and CMU).
