This is the story of Isabel from Idaho (or Ian from Iceland, or Indrajit from India). Isabel is a hopeful entrepreneur applying to Babson College, the world's top school for entrepreneurship. Knowing the school well is the best way to ensure a good fit and a great application. She reads about the school online, but there is no substitute for being there.
Unfortunately, it's a long way from Idaho to Wellesley MA - 2,684 miles - and there is no way she can make the trip in person. What is her next best option? A Vicarious tour.
Once she signs up with the online service, Vicarious connects her with a list of current students interested in giving her a vicarious tour of campus. Isabel goes through all the short profile videos and picks Craig, a second year student at Babson, to take her on a tour and she schedules a half-hour tour of Olin Hall with him the very next day.
Isabel, meet Craig Chatwin: Hi, I'm Craig, and I'm currently studying at Babson College as a second year student. I am interested in investment banking and have worked as a financial analyst. Sign up with me as your guide to learn more about the college! |
