<P class=MsoNormal>Dear AIBEc students and alumni, <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The first week in March is MBA Week in Moscow and there will
be several events that you really shouldn’t miss if you are planning to go to
another business school or graduate school abroad in the next couple of
years. Keep in mind that, the first two events will be particularly
worthwhile because they are one-on-one contact events that give you a valuable
chance to improve your interviewing skills and learn the right questions to
ask. So even if you have your heart set on a particular school that isn’t
going to be at these events, you should register for the English language
interview practice so that you will be prepared when your chance to interview
with your dream school comes. In the past AIBEc graduates have been
extremely successful in continuing at some of the world’s top B-schools, like
Wharton, Kellog, and our own Dean Kontor at UCLA, so I hope the future won’t be
an exception and some of you have high expectations to continue on after
AIBEc.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><B>First, on March 1, is the Access MBA Event</B>, at the
Hilton Leningradskaya from 16:00 to 21:30. This is one on one interviews with
admissions representatives of several top B-Schools, plus panel discussions and
consultations on GMAT and MBA advising. Register here <SPAN

style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">http://www.accessmba.com/mba-events/access-mba-tour/moscow-march-1/index.html</SPAN></A>
and the event is free. (You save the 800 ruble fee at the door.)

<P class=MsoNormal><B><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; COLOR: #000066; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Second,
on March 2 is the QS Connect-1-2-1</SPAN></B><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; COLOR: #000066; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">
Event at the Radisson from 18:00-22:00. This is another one on one
interviewing event, although here registration is more difficult because you
must submit your CV, and the schools select you for an interview. But on
the other hand, with your CV and detailed information in hand the experts at QS
can make sure they place you with schools that fit your profile.

<P class=MsoNormal><B>Finally, on March 3 at the Radisson, from 17:00 to 21:00
is the QS World MBA Tour</B> and, in a nearby room, <B>the QS World Graduate
School Tour</B>. While the former 2 events concentrate on individual
interviews and have a relatively small number of schools, this one is the mother
of all MBA and Graduate School fairs, bringing together upwards of 50 business
schools and graduate programs, and every year attracting around 1000
attendees. You won’t get individual interviews here, but you will be
able to expand your knowledge by seeing reps from famous business schools as
well as hearing about programs that you maybe weren’t aware
of. Plus you can attend panel discussions with representatives
from IMD, Kellogg, Wharton, Stanford, INSEAD and more. And if you haven’t
decided on an MBA versus a Masters in Finance, LLM or other graduate degree, you
can stop in the Graduate School room and compare the various degrees on offer
there. Register in advance for both events so that you get in for free and
save 200 rubles on each.<o:p></o:p></P>
