Meetup Questions
MeetUps are invite-only small group meetings with admission decision-makers. We’ve distilled decades of experience into an intelligent matching algorithm that recommends the best schools for you. During the 25-minute, face-to-face video sessions, you can ask questions and get a better feel for the program and if it’s right for you.
Each MeetUp is 25 minutes long.
The best way to view and accept your MeetUp invitations is by logging into your student portal. Once you login, you will see your pending invitations on the left side panel.
To reschedule, go to your student portal and click the reschedule button under the MeetUp section on the left-hand side bar.
If you cannot attend any of the sessions a university invited you to, select the “schedule conflict” button under the MeetUp invitation on the landing page. This will allow you to send a message to the school requesting a different time to meet after the event.
Most MeetUps are scheduled prior to the event. However, if you are interested in adding another, visit The MBA Tour’s MeetUp booth for on-site scheduling.

When you don’t have a scheduled MeetUp, we’d recommend visiting the school’s booth in the Exhibition Hall. There, you can have a 1:1 or group chat with a school representative as well as leave your contact info to meet after the event.
