Welcome to another edition of Wiki Wednesdays, our weekly post about the Clear Admit Wiki, an online repository for MBA applicants to share their experiences with the admissions process. Over the past week, we’ve received a number of interview reports for Harvard Business School and Northwestern / Kellogg. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the Clear Admit Wiki and helped fellow applicants prepare for MBA admissions interviews!
For those interested in adding their experience to the Wiki, we’ll be awarding a $10 iTunes gift certificate to every fifth applicant who contributes an interview report. Plus, between now and next Tuesday, December 22nd, the first 15 candidates that submit interview reports for Berkeley / Haas, Oxford / Said, Stanford GSB or Yale SOM will receive a $10 gift certificate to iTunes! To be eligible for the prize, simply send your contribution to wiki@clearadmit.com; we’ll post it to the Wiki and notify the winners by e-mail (Limit: one gift card per person).
The most helpful and informative reports usually include the following information:
- Date/Admissions Round
- Description of visit and/or interview atmosphere
- Type of interview (alum vs. adcom, blind vs. application-based)
- List of interview questions
- Commentary (What did you think of the interview? What surprised you? What didn’t surprise you? What might you conclude about the school based on this experience?)
As always, we wish the best of luck to Round 1 applicants undergoing the interview phase of the admissions process! Applicants who would like to supplement the information available on the Wiki can check out our Clear Admit Interview Guides, which provide school-specific insight and strategic advice to help applicants with their admissions interviews. Stay tuned to this blog for an array of interview tips in the coming weeks, and be sure to check out the Clear Admit Wiki for firsthand interview accounts.
