Application volumes at LBS seem unaffected by worries over Brexit.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

An applicant dishes on interviews at two top business schools, applications at one of Britain\u2019s top business schools don\u2019t seem to be affected by Brexit, and aspiring Indian MBAs are looking to Canada for their business education. Here\u2019s the latest in our roundup of business school news.<\/span><\/p>\n

The MBA interview<\/span><\/h2>\n

A major part of the business school admissions process is the interview. It\u2019s your opportunity to show admissions officers why you\u2019d be a good match for the school. It\u2019s also your chance to interview them and see if the school is everything you thought it was when you applied. Admissions officers also want to know that you\u2019ve taken the time to do your research into what makes their MBA program unique. Here we have a student who applied to two top-ranked business schools: <\/span>University of Chicago Booth School of Business<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Stanford University Graduate School of Business<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>About Chicago Booth the candidate said, \u201cThe Booth interview was predictable and relaxed\u2014as an expected result of the interview being conducted by a current student. Had I not visited campus, I would have struggled to speak convincingly about the culture and how I saw myself fitting in.\u201d Lesson: Speak with current students and alumni. That\u2019s part of the research.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Stanford, the candidate shared, \u201cHe asked me to tell him a story about an accomplishment (seemed simple enough), but then proceeded to drill down into acute detail with increasingly probing questions.\u201d Lesson: Don\u2019t exaggerate anything on your resume. Here is where you can get caught for being dishonest. (<\/span>Poets & Quants<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n
