Do as much research as you can.<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Know the\u00a0schools that will be in attendance and be prepared with questions specific to each program.<\/li>\n<li>Know the companies that will be in attendance,\u00a0including any\u00a0special offers they might have for the event.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b><b>2. Dress to impress, but be prepared for a long day<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Business casual is recommended for attendees of this event, but, at minimum, we suggest that your outfit is clean\u2014without holes, rips or frays, and comfortable (the events are long and you\u2019ll be on your feet for the most part!).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><b>3. Ask a lot of questions, take notes, get contact information, and take the information from the table!<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure you\u2019re taking advantage of the representatives in front of you; get all of your questions answered.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that you\u2019ll also be talking to a lot of people; have a notebook and\u00a0something to write with so you can recall these conversations later.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When in doubt, get the person&#8217;s\u00a0card &#8211; this way, you can follow up directly after the event with more questions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t forget the informational pamphlets &#8211; yes, it\u2019ll feel a little overwhelming when you leave the event with a bag full of these, but they\u2019ll be great sources of information for you after the event and they might be more digestible when you\u2019re able to take your time looking over them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b><b>4. Be nice &#8211; to the representatives and to yourself<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These events can be a little overwhelming, so make sure to take care of yourself by taking breaks, having snacks, and staying hydrated.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The representatives are talking to hundreds of people during the tour. A small,\u00a0kind\u00a0gesture (a smile, a \u201cthank you\u201d) will go a long way and leave lasting impressions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you&#8217;re considering an MBA, The MBA Tour is an incredible opportunity to research, network, and move forward toward your B-School future.
