Sincerely, The Riordan Programs Alumni Association Upcoming Event (Open to Everyone):
Riordan Programs Alumni Association The MBA Admissions Conference connects the nation’s top 20 business schools with talented candidates from underrepresented backgrounds. The DMAC is the only conference of its kind on the west coast where admissions directors from the top 20 business schools (Harvard, Stanford Wharton, Yale) attend to meet qualified candidates planning to apply to business school. The daylong conference features workshops and panels on how to distinguish yourself as a top candidate, culminating in a series of MBA roundtables led by Admissions Officers for candidates to get their questions answered in a more intimate setting and better prepare for the application and interview process. - Read what others had to say about the Conference Location: UCLA Anderson School of Management
