“MBA Admissions: Preparing For The Interview” is the latest post in our series Navigate the MBA Maze.
Here are three key tips on how to present yourself during those crucial face-to-face minutes:
Structure helps your interviewer see where you’re going with your answer and helps you remember where you’re going, too. So when they ask, “Why do you want to attend Harvard/Stanford/Kellogg?” don’t say, “Well, I was born in Florida in 1984, and . . .”
Instead, lay out a clear structure: “There are three primary reasons why this school is my top choice: curriculum, culture, and community.”
After providing the structure upfront, provide details for each reason you mention. Not every interview answer requires an upfront structure (some are more story-oriented), but use one for those that lend themselves to it. You’ll be glad you did.
