Yes! I think the biggest piece of advice is to practice, but don’t be rehearsed. Committees want to see you are prepared, but they don’t want you just spitting out answers.
The #1 mistake I would see when interviewing candidates was that they didn’t listen to the question.
We have some basic questions you need to be ready for here - https://www.aringo.com/interview-common-questions/

Also, look at the marketing the MBA program has on their website, social media - this will tell you what is most important to them right now... work on sharing how this matches who you are and your goals

It is totally fine to be nervous - that means you are vested in this experience AND the outcome. If you stumble, they aren’t counting it against you... they ARE looking at how you recover - that is what they want to see

Hi SSD01, This is great experience, school list is very international and on target for your target GMAT. Some of these schools will need an application that is really targeted to ensure they aren’t your back up school to a long list of stretch schools.

SSD01, where do you want to work and live post-MBA? and in the long-term? you will be growing your network while in the program and post grad where you are located - take this into consideration.
