Proceeding with your university or business school application at a time when large parts of the world are on lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic is tricky. After all, how are you meant to research schools properly if you can’t even visit campuses or attend events and speak to admissions staff?
On May 5, we held an exclusive webinar to help all students with their university search at this challenging time. We were joined by figures from three leading business schools – INSEAD, Michigan Ross School of Business and Indian School of Business – to answer any questions you might have around the following topics:
- How are schools around the world reacting to Covid-19?
- How can I choose which schools to apply to without visiting them in person?
- Are admissions criteria changing due to Covid-19?
- Should I focus on online programs or defer my application until I’m able to study in person?
- Can I still study abroad?
- How do I take the GRE or GMAT from home – and which one should I take?
- How can I fund my studies at this challenging time?
