Ask an MBA Admissions Consultant

Hello all,


This is first post, I am so glad to be here. I really think this website is going to be a great resource for my GMAT preparation.

I have been talking to a a recruiter for the school I really want to get into. He suggested that I attend a graduate programs information reception tonight for any questions I have about the program. There are going to be admissions staff there along with current students who are attending the school.

I was wondering what kind of questions should I ask both the admissions staff and the current students? So far, I was thinking about asking basic questions like:

For the current students:
-What's experience like here?
-What are the class rooms like?
-What did you do get admission here?

For the admission staff:
-I'm a California resident and I just move to NY. Would it look better for me to become a resident of NY to apply to this University?


Any more suggestions from you guys would help!

I want to show them that I really want to attend this University. I just moved here to Rochester, NY and the University is less than a mile away so it would be really convenient. I think this would be a really good opportunity for me to network so I really want to make a good impression.

Currently, I'm prepping for GMAT exam and I am planning to apply for the 2013 year. The school's name is University of Rochester's Simon school of business.


I have a 3.0 overall GPA and a 3.2 Accounting GPA, undergrad major: Business Administration: Concentration Accounting, American citizen
