\n\u00a0 This Sunday representatives from the best American and European graduate programs will meet with students attending the World MBA & Grad School Tour in Istanbul.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 Held at the Military Museum & Cultural Center in the central Istanbul neighborhood of Harbiye, the free event provides an opportunity to interact with admissions officers of the world’s leading business and graduate schools. Students will also find information about tapping into $1.1 million of scholarships, a GMAT\/GRE testing and admissions strategy workshop, a careers panel with recruiters and alumni, a sample class from top professors and a free career guide for the first 100 visitors.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 The Education Ministry says some 50,000 students from Turkey study abroad every year. The recent trend reflects that students realize that quality international education is close by and that EU benefits are abundant. The numbers of international visas granted show that more than 20,000 Turkish students are enrolling each year in European universities.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 Participants in the QS World MBA Tour include 17 of the top 20 U.S. business, schools such as Berkeley, Columbia, Duke, Georgetown, Stanford and Wharton. All of the leading European business schools will attend, including Rotterdam and London business schools, Cambridge, and Oxford. Leading Turkish MBA providers will also take part. The Grad School Tour brings more than 80 U.S. and international graduate schools to Istanbul this year.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 With high competition for business school admission, meetings such as this provide students with the opportunity to ask customized questions about career opportunities, school specializations and financial aid. And the face-to-face impression can make the difference in the end, said Peter Johnson, director of admissions at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business.<\/p>\n
