INTERVIEW PREPARATION
For nearly every leading business school, the interview serves as a critical aspect of the admissions process. Just as applicants pour hours of time into crafting effective application essays, it pays to prepare for your interviews and be certain that you will be able to articulate face-to-face all the information regarding your candidacy.
Many of the top MBA programs use the interview as a final step before making their decision on your candidacy. Clear Admit will work with you to develop your interview skills, as well as ensure that you understand the “do and don’ts” of a campus visit – from dress code to etiquette in the admissions lobby.
Whether you are preparing for a ‘blind’ resume-based interview with an alumnus, a non-blind interview with an admissions officer or a behavioral interview with a second-year student, our team of counselors can provide expert guidance. All of our counselors are highly familiar with each program’s approach to the process, drawing upon first-hand experience as former admissions officers and upon thousands of accounts from our Interview Archive.

-Taking the GRE in Oct
Any advice on a range for a target GRE score and based on my profile do you think the 3.3 will hold me back from those top M7/T15 schools that I plan to apply to?
(I assume to help offset the 3.3, my GRE score will need to be pretty high)
I am thinking of doing Booth and Stanford Full time applications and Kellogg part time and also thinking of doing Booth part time as well since I have a low years of experience in a non consulting role. Knowing all this and my GPA what would an ideal GMAT score look like for me?
I’m in knowledge consulting (a bit more specialised than generalist track with lower client exposure - but I’ve been fortunate to work directly with most of my clients)
Currently 4 yoe
I don’t have anything particularly distinct in my profile apart from this
