It is with great pleasure that we announce the 2011 Annual Conference for the Association of International Graduate Admissions Consultants (AIGAC). This year's conference will be held June 8-10 in Palo Alto, California. We would be honored to have you join.

AIGAC continues to seek to raise awareness of global best practices among the members of our community. In keeping with that spirit, the theme of this year's Conference is "The Perfect Fit." The focus will be on the match between MBA applicants and programs, and how fit is facilitated through the application process. How does an applicant convey passion in essays or reveal essential qualities in an interview? What can applicants do to distinguish themselves if they belong to an oversubscribed applicant group? How does the unconventional candidate fit into the mix?

"Business leaders constantly surround themselves with skilled advisors in order to make the best decisions. While the decisions are ultimately theirs, the process of bouncing ideas and talking through problems is tremendously valuable. The same is true in the admissions process where candidates may need guidance in exploring career options, identifying appropriate programs and determining the best way to position their candidacy. An organization like AIGAC assures both schools and candidates that there are industry standards in place and consulting firms linked to this organization are following ethical practices. It also opens the door for sharing best practices within the counseling industry and for closer engagement between the counselors and the schools." - Rosemaria Martinelli, former Associate Dean for Student Recruitment and Admissions, University of Chicago Graduate School of Business
