With the fall semester rapidly approaching, MBA programs around the Boston area are giving the summer one last fling with a series of information sessions. These sessions are a great opportunity to get face-time with some of the people who will be evaluating your application later on, and, although we recommend researching online, including through our own resources at MetroMBA, there’s nothing like some personal contact to really get to know a school. So if you’re thinking about applying for MBA programs in the Boston area, get out your calendars and take down these dates!
