Internship for Ivey MBAs

Here's one way to get around the lack of internship for the one year program. Below is the text of the email I received from the admissions office at Ivey. Advanced Placement Program with a well known consulting company offers you to postpone your enrolment from May to October and do a summer internship before you even start the program. I think that's a really good idea for those looking to switch industries and/or looking for more practical experience with their MBA. Ivey also offered to pay for the travel expenses associated with the trip to the info session and help in editing resume and cover letter (which I thought was really nice of them).

"Congratulations on your recent offer to join the Ivey MBA program!

I wanted to follow up with you to ensure you received and have had an opportunity to review the email that was sent out on behalf of Ivey and the [well known consulting company]. This email was to introduce you to a unique summer opportunity (Advanced Placement Program) that is available to students that have accepted their offers of admission for Ivey's full-time, 12 month MBA program.

To launch this program and to provide more information, the company is hosting an information session at ---, 2007 at Ivey's ING Leadership Centre in downtown Toronto. "
