Advice from Clear Admit: Understanding the MBA Admissions Interview, Part I
This post has been republished in its entirety from its original source clearadmit.com.
With Harvard Business School (HBS) slated to issue its first batch of invitations today, the MBA admissions world is buzzing about one thing: INTERVIEWS. HBS, of course, is not alone. At Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business, which features applicant-initiated interviews, hopeful candidates have been traipsing back and forth to Hanover already for several weeks. And Columbia Business School (CBS) has also already been busy interviewing applicants for its Early Decision Round.
With so much interview anxiety in the air—and knowing that it only stands to build from here—we’ve decided to devote this week at Clear Admit to all things interview. We’re getting the ball rolling with this multi-part series, which we like to think of as an MBA Admissions Interview Primer of sorts. In it, we’ll unpack the different types of interviews—open, invited, blind, non-blind, resume-based, behavioral-based, team-based, etc.—and take a look at why particular schools choose the interview variations they do. Along the way, we’ll offer some tips for how best to prepare for each and explore a few of the more interesting wrinkles in the world of MBA interviews.
When all is said and done, you still may not feel fully ready to ace that HBS interview, but you’ll have a much firmer grasp on the MBA interview landscape as a whole, which we hope will better prepare you for interviews at all of your target schools. Continue reading…
