INTERVIEW PREPARATION
For nearly every leading business school, the interview serves as a critical aspect of the admissions process. Just as applicants pour hours of time into crafting effective application essays, it pays to prepare for your interviews and be certain that you will be able to articulate face-to-face all the information regarding your candidacy.
Many of the top MBA programs use the interview as a final step before making their decision on your candidacy. Clear Admit will work with you to develop your interview skills, as well as ensure that you understand the “do and don’ts” of a campus visit – from dress code to etiquette in the admissions lobby.
Whether you are preparing for a ‘blind’ resume-based interview with an alumnus, a non-blind interview with an admissions officer or a behavioral interview with a second-year student, our team of counselors can provide expert guidance. All of our counselors are highly familiar with each program’s approach to the process, drawing upon first-hand experience as former admissions officers and upon thousands of accounts from our Interview Archive.

Education: Bachelor's degree in Nursing (GPA: 3.5) from a top 2 nursing school
Work Experience: 3 years as a high-risk OB Registered Nurse at a major hospital, with leadership roles in various healthcare initiatives and patient care management.
Additional Experience: Currently working as a GP
Operations Specialist at an early-stage healthcare/tech-focused venture capital firm, where I optimize operational processes and support investment decisions in the healthcare sector.
I understand my background is somewhat non-traditional for an MBA program and that my stats are about average for these schools, but I believe my experience in healthcare and VC provides a unique perspective and skill set. Which M7 or T15 schools do you think I should realistically target, especially those known for strong consulting programs? With my stats and experience do I realistically have a shot at admission to a top program? I have a particular interest in Kellogg and Booth, as I'm planning on pursuing a career in healthcare consulting.
Additionally, I would love any guidance on how to present myself as a competitive candidate and effectively showcase my strengths and experiences in healthcart and venture capital. Thank you for your help!
With an experience of 2.5 years and a promotion to mid-managerial level as a data analyst, I look forward to MBA for a broader global exposure and be in the decision making position to see how my work brings a real time impact for the organisation.
Undergraduate: US took 6 years to graduate due to health issues. Took 1 gap year, 6 months of co-op in college + covid.

Missed the call from a 2Y student, and received 20K/year. Very grateful for the result.
Will have 3.5 YoE by matriculation.
Applied days before the deadline.
The adcom left me to die and waited until the last day for R1 decisions to let me know of my rejection.
Anyways, I'm pleased about my rejection and knowing I'm not going to a woke school. I still got an acceptance at 2 higher ranked schools.
I got a call today from a student I connected with during the application process! 13y Background: operations, product management, and leadership positions.
Still hoping, I don't wanna leave...
