Camp Ignite

About

Camp Ignite is one of the focal programs of Project Emerge. This year, we are excited to host a new conference style Program & Admissions Readiness experience designed for diverse and talented leaders looking to apply to business school within the next year. While learning what makes the Twin Cities a truly unique academic environment, Camp Ignite participants will be guided through the application process for graduate school, establishing a personal brand, and graduate and career exploration. At the end of Camp Ignite, participants will have all of the information needed to complete their applications, from their personal statements, resume, GMAT study plan, how to apply for waivers, recommendations, and more.

Through Camp Ignite, we strive to allow diverse groups of students to assemble the necessary elements of business school applications, explain how business applies to individual career interests, help participants acquire new knowledge, and prepare participants for applying to MBA programs.
