I started my MBA quest by visiting the World MBA tour at a city close to where I stay(http://www.topmba.com/mba_fairs/). There, I had a chance to meet face to face with the admissions representatives from numerous schools. I got to meet alumni, admissions officers and also other prospective students.
I think attending an MBA fair is a great way to start your MBA journey. This way you get a chance to learn about various schools without the efforts and expense of actually visiting them. Once you know the schools you are impressed by, you can visit them at a later stage.
My two cents on attending MBA tours:
1. Research, research and research: Invest as much time possible about a week before the MBA fair, researching to schools you are interested in. This will hold you in good stead if when you are talking to the admissions officers or the alumni.
2. Dress Formally: Always dress in business formal attire when you are attending these MBA fairs. Remember any interaction with the admissions staff before the final admissions decision is EVALUATION TIME.
3. Send thank you notes: Do make it a point to ask for business cards/contact information from schools of interest and do make it a point to send them timely thank you notes. This can be a great starting point for you to start your business school networking!!!
