I just received an announcement from IMD, the top Swiss MBA program, and I want to share it with you:<\/p>\n
Do you want to be one of the 90 exceptional people to make it into IMD\u2019s one year leadership development program?<\/p>\n
This year, the IMD MBA has been ranked #2 worldwide by the Wall Street Journal, Forbes and The Economist, and alumni voted its career services office \u2018best in the world\u2019.<\/p>\n
Deciding where you do your MBA is a life-changing decision, and visiting the campus is typically the best way to get a feel for a program. However, for those of you who are unable to visit us in person, we would like to invite you to join us online for a virtual campus visit.<\/p>\n
See a videoed tour of the campus, join an interactive presentation about the program and admissions process, understand if your profile fits with our participants, and ask any questions you may have.<\/p>\n
The next visits will take place on 17 November and 4 December<\/strong>. Register here<\/strong><\/a> for these or future events. Best regards,<\/p>\n The IMD MBA Team<\/p>\n I completely agree that visiting a school<\/a> is the best way to learn about it. However, reality -- everyone cannot visit every campus they are interested in -- and modern technology are leading to innovative approaches to assist those too far to fly.<\/p>\n IMD with its virtual visit program is offering an excellent option. The virtual visit will never be as good as the in-person one, but it should be a solid second best and a great alternative for those who can't make it to\u00a0Lausanne.<\/p>\n Currently more and more top business schools are using video on their web sites. More and more are providing venues for interaction -- online forums, blogs, Facebook pages, Twitter streams, and chat as well as offline events. Indeed many top business schools have participated in the over 230 MBA admissions chats<\/a> Accepted's has hosted over the last 10 years. I think you'll see more and more schools combining video and chat\/forums into virtual visits as they strive to meet applicants needs.<\/p>\n
\nWe look forward to meeting you soon!<\/p>\n
