How can one find and contact current MBA students from schools he wants to apply?

I would like to talk with somebody who is an MBA student about his/her experiences, but I don't know anybody in person.
Any suggestions?

Linkedin would be the easiest way.. Just type something along the lines of : MBA candidate (name of school) and you get a bunch of contacts.. In addition you can always email the admission department and ask to be put in touch with a current student.. This type of request is very normal and adcoms are used to it..

I hope this helps a little

LinkedIn works very well. Some schools also have "ambassadors" who are basically there to talk to prospectives. Also keep in mind that some schools will NOT put you in touch with alums (Sloan, for example).

Go to the website of the schools you are interested in and you'll find contact person or student ambassadors contacts there. Contact students ambassadors to get inside view of the real situation on the school.
