MBA interview TIPS

General

　　2. Respond to questions honestly and candidly.

　　3. Understand what is asked of you. Feel free to ask for a repeat if you don't clearly understand a question.

　　4. Avoid the "smart-aleck" reply or the clever-flip demeanor (you know, the effort to be cute, snappy alert, falsely witty).

　　5. Do your homework on the school and program.

　　6. Be on time. Look nice.

　　7. Examine yourself. Know something about the MBA and how it can aid you.

　　2. Ask about faculty research and interests, especially in areas that concern you.

　　4. Know something about the MBA degree and what it can do for you. Explore the possibilities of the degree as it relates to what you are seeking.
