How to Navigate Your University Search During COVID-19

With much of the world locked down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, continuing with university or business school applications has been challenging. After all, if you cannot even visit campuses or attend events and speak with admissions staff, how can you properly research schools?

On May 5, we held an exclusive webinar to help students search for universities during this difficult time. Representatives from three top business schools - INSEAD, the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan, and the Indian School of Business - joined us to answer any questions you may have on topics such as:

• How are schools around the world responding to COVID-19?
• How do I choose which schools to apply to without visiting in person?
• Have admissions criteria changed because of COVID-19?
• Should I focus on online programs, or delay my application until I can study in person?
• Can I still study abroad?
• How can I take the GRE or GMAT from home - and which one should I take?
• How can I finance my studies during this challenging time?

Below you can find more information about the featured speakers at this exclusive webinar.
