Every admissions interview is different, but there are some common questions that MBA applicants are often asked. To prepare for your MBA interview, read through these questions and think about how you would answer them.

• Why business school?
• Why did you decide to apply to this business school?
• What makes you stand out among other candidates?
• What can you contribute to our program?
• What are your expectations of this program?
• How do you plan to use your degree?
• Where do you see yourself in ten years?
• Can you walk me through your resume?
• Can you give me an example of a time that you demonstrated leadership?
• What is your definition of teamwork?
• What would you say is your biggest weakness?
• What are your greatest strengths?
• How would your colleagues describe you?
• What are your hobbies?

All the best!

Do's and Dont's for an interview
You Only Have One Chance to Make a First Impression

A college interview evens the playing field between school candidates. The interview is your chance to tell a school everything that your grades and test scores couldn't. While every interview is a unique experience, there are a few general do's and don'ts that can give you confidence and ensure your success.

Do's

• Do plan to arrive at least ten minutes early. Know where the interview location is and know how long it takes to get there.
• Do prepare and practice answers for common interview questions. Don’t wait until the night before to begin preparation. The sooner you start, the more comfortable you will be.
• Do dress for success. Jeans and T-shirts have no place at an interview. When in doubt, be conservative.
• Do turn off your cell phone or better yet, don't take it into the interview.
• Do greet the interviewer by title and last name. If you are given a tour of the facility, greet every person you see with courtesy and respect.
• Do shake hands firmly.
• Do wait to be offered a chair before sitting.
• Do remember posture and body language. Look interested at all times and refrain from fidgeting.
• Do stress your achievements. Remember that this is your chance to sell yourself.
• Do ask intelligent questions about the school, programs, and faculty. Show enthusiasm where appropriate.
• Do close the interview by verifying your interest in the school.

Don'ts

• Don't reschedule the interview unless it is absolutely unavoidable.
• Don't forget the interviewer's name.
• Don’t forget to smile!
• Don't answer every question with a simple yes or no. Elaborate on your answers whenever possible.
• Don’t lie. Answer questions honestly and frankly.
• Don't ever offer any negative information about yourself.
• Don't forget to verbally thank the interviewer for their time and consideration.
• Don't forget to promptly send a thank you note to the interviewer.
