Hear from the experts

Hosted by Forté and with the help and expertise of two industry leaders, webinar participants will learn what it takes to prepare and apply for an MBA.

GMAC, the makers of the GMAT exam, have long been one of the most respected and well-known resources not only for test preparation, but for the MBA admissions process as a whole. With decades of experience and rich data insights, their insider knowledge is invaluable when it comes to what admissions committees really look for in an MBA candidate.

Access MBA has been a leader in higher education events and matching between prospective students and universities for more than 20 years. Experienced in hosting MBA-focused events specifically for women candidates, Access MBA has already built a strong community of female professionals supporting each other’s advancement.

What to expect on the day

During this energising 60-minute session, you will discover:

  • The transformative power of the MBA and how it can boost your career growth
  • GMAT fundamentals, including preparation strategies, timing, and how schools look at scores
  • Expert advice on networking with school representatives and making the most of MBA events
  • The secrets to positioning yourself as a compelling candidate from day one

The MBA application process might seem daunting, especially when you consider that business schools are looking for more than just a flashy resume. They need authentic leaders who can contribute meaningfully to their class and have strong career goals for their future. But showing up with clear self-awareness, solid preparation, and an impressive GMAT score can be a winning combination. The webinar is suitable for women at different stages of their career – early and mid-level professionals as well as career changers can all benefit from attending.

Perfect timing to start your MBA journey

With nearly 20 MBA events taking place between September and November in North America, this is a prime opportunity for female professionals who are weighing their education options. Access MBA will visit 14 US cities and 5 Canadian cities, enabling candidates to meet with accredited international business schools.

MBA events provide the ideal venue for getting to know the top programmes in person, connecting with admissions teams, and making a strong first impression. In combination with the insights gained from this upcoming webinar, you will be fully prepared to take your first steps in business education.
