MBA Admissions Interview Tips

Interviews last between 30 minutes and one hour The majority of schools offer the possibility of having the interview conducted by a member of the admissions committee (at the school or at presentation tours organized by the schools in the principal cities across the world) or with former students specially selected for this purpose.

There are numerous reasons to explain the growing importance of interviews in the admissions process. First of all, it's an excellent opportunity to test your 'soft skills', which are becoming more and more important in the business world. These 'soft skills' consist of your aptitude to communicate, your charisma and your strength of character. In your application, these elements appear only implicitly; in an interview, on the other hand, these qualities become more evident.

Another reason for the expanding use of interviews lies in the fact that the schools are seeking more and more to sell themselves to certain applicants. Each school seeks to attract the best applicants because it is they who will later carry the reputation of the school. Competition is therefore intense and the schools use the interview to show themselves in the best light to the best applicants.
