THANK YOU LETTER – MBA 25

From Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business

October 31, 2011

On behalf of Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business I would like to thank MBA 25 team for very well‐organized events in Moscow on September 24, 2011 and in Kiev on September 27, 2011.

I had a pleasure of participating in both events, and the caliber of the candidates I met was very high. I found that event attendees were prepared with good questions about MBA in general and The Duke MBA programs in particular.

The mix of different formats in a one‐day event was very interesting, and we consider participating in MBA 25 events in the future, because it is one of the best ways to meet large groups of qualified prospective students.

Kind regards,

Daria Zarubina

Regional Director, Russia and CIS Duke University, The Fuqua School of Business

Stanford Dear MBA Strategy,Thank you for an opportunity to represent Stanford GSB at MBA25 event in Kiev.I really enjoyed having open and friend-ly conversations with talented people who came to meet the representatives of top-rated business schools. I believe that such events will extend the boarders of high-level business edu-cation and increase the quality of doing business in CIS.

HKUSTMany thanks to you and your team too for having me & HKUST both at MBA25, and for brilliant arrangement of the event.Indeed, I myself noticed considerable interest in Asian schools this time - as I had to answer numerous questions about our school in front of so many people for all 3 hrs.

Cambridge Judge The MBA25 event in Moscow organised by MBA Strategy provided a great op-portunity to meet with high-calibre can-didates in what can be a difficult market. Both the one-to-one meetings and the fair provided me with a good number of great leads with whom to follow up. The ability to view profiles on the laptop and make notes on candidates as the fair was happening was a very useful innovation, and as a whole the fair was professionally run and organised.

Insead Dear MBA25,Thank you very much for organizing the MBA-Fair in Moscow. It was one of the best MBA fairs, with high quality of can-didates and strong list of schools repre-sented. The organization was remarkable – reception, stands, plenary session, and especially the IT infrastructure.I trust this even was extremely beneficial for all participants! Wishing you success in your future un-dertakings.

Best regards, Georgy Babilashvily

MBA25 FeedbackJohn Cass Business SchoolMany thanks for doing such a great job for the Moscow event. Here is my feedback…The event was very well organised and the MBA25 team were very patient and genuinely helpful through the entire process. At the event the candidates were well prepared and very few of them had less than our 3/5 years post graduation work experience. Their English level was good and we will certainly be doing the event in the future because MBA25 ap-preciate our custom rather than take it for granted as some other organisers do. They also provide a very good calibre of candidate.

Thanks again.Tim Navin-Jones

Chicago Booth Dear MBA Strategy,I would like to extend my gratitude to your team for professionally organizing a recent MBA 25 Fair in Moscow. The event was well though through from concept to realization and went virtually seamlessly.I appreciate your effort in selecting a great pool of aspiring MBA candidates - it was a great chance to network and

get to know many like-minded young professionals. I enjoyed participating in the panel discussion on pre- and post-MBA career, where audience was very engaged and asked well-prepared intelligent questions. I hope sharing my experiences was helpful for the participants and I would be happy to participate in similar events in the future. Best of luck to your team in further efforts to raise MBA awareness and to bring best b-schools to the CIS region.

Regards,Andrey Galiuk

IMDSupport from your staff on site was su-perb. They were all very helpful and sup-portive.The roundtable format worked well for me. I found the possibility to talk to a small group of people very useful. The strict timing was appreciated, it was great to see that the schedule was kept. The majority of attendees were well prepared and asked specific questions, no general ones….
