Can someone copy and paste the contents of that interview tips email though? I'm planning to interview on campus in the following weeks so I'm interested in seeing what the admissions team has provided.
Tips for a Successful Admissions Interview
With Round Two interviews now underway, the Admissions team wanted to provide you with some helpful tips for a successful interview. Your admissions interview is your opportunity to tell us who you are in ways that a written application cannot. Knowing what to expect will allow you to relax and successfully showcase your skills in person.
Be prepared. If you're prepared, then you'll feel confident and get the most out of your Booth interview. Your interviewer wants to understand your strengths and development areas, but they also want to get to know you as a person and learn how you can contribute to the Booth community.
Anticipate questions that may be asked. Put yourself in the shoes of your interviewer - what would you want to know about you? Then ask yourself those questions.
Use the interview as a learning opportunity. The interview is also an opportunity for you to discover more about Booth. Your interview will be conducted by either an alum or a current student and you should have an opportunity to ask them questions at the end of the interview. Your interviewer can provide insight into what the Booth experience is like.
Dress for success. This is a formal interview so business attire is considered the most appropriate form of dress.
Plan in advance. You don't want to be stressed out on the day of the interview so make sure you've planned for the interview logistics. Do you have directions and a copy of your resume? Also, try to arrive a few minutes in advance of the interview. This will give you a few moments to relax and collect your thoughts.
Be yourself. We know that you might feel a little nervous, but try to enjoy the interview. We really want to get to know who you are, so don't be afraid to let your personality shine.
On behalf of the Admissions team, good luck!
