Hi, is anybody planning to attend UpClose '18?
AdmitJA, can you let us know how the logistics work out for international students (specifically the travel stipend part
) and what we can expect from the experience? TIA!
Hey
helloksin,
Good question! I am not sure what is the stipend policy this year. I am traveling now, but have emailed the admissions team. I will add a second post once I know more.
Regarding the experience part, I think Up Close is a real fun experience that more often than not woos admitted students to matriculate at Carlson.
I think visiting Up Close would help you to learn lot more about the school and to learn more about what the MBA experience is at Carlson (and in the US). I decided to come to Up Close because I was in split minds of deciding whether I should stay with the startup that was growing very well vs. matriculating at Carlson (and that year). I think the trip made me learn lot more about the pros and cons of my decision by meeting people in person (students, GBCC, administration) and by sitting in classes (much lesser additional influence though). I must admit that I did not fully learn the pros and cons of the decision like I now know, but it certainly helped me take a better informed decision! If you would like to take a more informed decision or just meet your prospective classmates or have fun or set up half of the kitchen (like one of my friend did), come to Up Close.
