We’re seeing them from Yale School of Management, UNC Kenan-Flagler, Tuck, Kellogg, UCLA Anderson and Columbia Business School, to name more than a handful. Round 2 interview invitations are wending their way to anxious applicants. With many more to come in the next few weeks, now’s the time to take advantage of the Clear Admit Interview Archive.
We’ve received more than 80 new submissions already this application season, bringing the total to more than 1,600 in-depth interview reports in all. For those of you not familiar with Clear Admit’s Interview Archive, it’s a repository of first-hand accounts shared directly by MBA applicants after they have interviewed with one or more of their target top-tier business schools.
Easy to sort by round or school, the Interview Archive was developed with applicants’ needs in mind. And the details shared in these reports—from the types of questions to expect to what the applicant would do differently if he or she had it to do over—provide invaluable information to future applicants as they prepare for their own interviews.
For Round 2 applicants gearing up for approaching interviews, this resource is not to be missed. Indeed, numerous applicants over the years have credited their acceptance to their top-choice school in part to insights they gleaned from reports shared here.
Our thanks to everyone who shared reports as part of Round 1. We know it can be tempting to take advantage of this resource without also taking the time to pay it forward. If you haven’t shared your experiences yet, won’t you please take a moment now to do so? Because, of course, the Interview Archive is only as good as the reports applicants submit.
Not sure what to write? The most helpful and informative reports usually include the following information:
- Date/admissions round
- Description of visit and/or interview atmosphere
- Type of interview (alum vs. adcom, blind vs. application-based)
- List of interview questions
- Commentary (What did you think of the interview? What surprised you? What didn’t surprise you? What might you conclude about the school based on this experience?)
Of course, you are welcome to share as much or as little as you like—the point is, please share. Click here to submit your report.
Good luck to everyone still waiting for an interview invitation! With LiveWire, you can know the minute schools start sending invites out, and with the Interview Archive you can be ready to wow the admissions committee when your turn rolls around.
