Thank you bb for moving my post here. And thank you Ariel and Miccarlo for sharing your opinions. You are right, there will be a crowd and I'm not going to impress the schools admissions. However, I think I know almost about the schools from their website, so do I really need to ask them questions that I know the answers?
I wouldn't ask questions I can easily find the answers to. Focus on items that are specific to your application (GMAT score, work experience, post-MBA goals, etc) basically try to gauge how they would view your application package. You can also discuss their placements in the area you're interested in. One question I've been asking admissions directors is how their career centers have handled the impact of the financial crisis on recruiting and the demise of all the bulge brackets. Some schools have better networks and are better able to fall back on smaller companies when times get rough than others. You want a school with a dynamic network and well-connected placement services. Do they have that?
