FROM McDonough Admissions Blog: After an initial review of your application, you may be invited... |
After an initial review of your application, you may be invited to interview with a member of the Georgetown McDonough community. This is the chance to give your application a voice and see if the program is the right fit for you. Remember, the interviewer will be assessing you from three different perspectives: what will you add to the classroom?; will you achieve your post-MBA professional goals?; are you someone students would want on their team? Assistant director of MBA Admissions, Michelle Roch shares more interview dos and don’ts. Do act as if everyone with whom you interact could have a stake in your admissions. You never know who you’ll meet on the elevator or what role they might serve in the admissions process.Do let your passion and personality shine through. Nothing convinces me of your determination more than when your excitement comes through in the interview process.Do dress the part. I’m a firm believer in the motto, you perform your best, when you look your best. We as interviewers will be evaluating you from the perspective of recruiter, so, dress for this interview the same way you would dress for your dream job.Do come prepared to tell your story - why you want the MBA at this point of your journey, what impact you’ve made in your professional career, how you’ve overcome obstacles, and how you’ve developed your world view. Don’t use too much industry-specific jargon. I recommend to practice interviewing with someone outside of your industry to ensure you’re using commonly known terminology.Don’t say anything negative about your former employer or colleagues. This leads me to believe that you’ll talk negatively about your fellow classmates and future employer - not a quality we’d like to associate with the Georgetown McDonough brand.Don’t rush through your answers. Finding the perfect timing can be difficult, but a general rule of thumb is to spend the least amount of time providing background on a specific situation you are describing, and a majority on the actions that you took and overall outcome.Don’t forget to practice. Even if you interview candidates in your current position, or you’ve been interviewed many times before, make sure you are ready to convey your accomplishments and highlights in a condensed time frame of 20 minutes. Do ask thoughtful questions at the end of the interview. Doing so demonstrates your interest and helps us determine if we will be a good fit for you. |
