From Katie Hunter, katie_hunter@tulanemba.org

DO
Be yourself
Be focused, provide information that is relevant to the admissions decision
Be appropriate
Be mature
Be confident
Know your resume and application and be prepared to speak about anything mentioned on them.
Have a plan, for the interview, your MBA and for the future
Be informed. Ask good questions. Go beyond the school website in your research.
Proofread your application and essays. We know you’re probably applying to other MBA programs we don’t need to see their names in our essay.

DON’T
Be afraid to discuss weaknesses in your application i.e. low GPA and/or GMAT. For example, if you have history of doing poorly on standardized tests but getting good grades in school, that information may be helpful to the admissions committee.
Ask questions that can be answered by a close reading of the website or admissions materials.
Curse or use inappropriate language in the interview
Heavily involve your parents in your MBA application process. This is graduate school. We don’t want to meet your mom at the interview.
