As you may know from our Wiki Wednesdays column, the Clear Admit Wiki is an online repository for MBA applicants to share their experiences with admissions. One challenge candidates face in the admissions process is the ever-important interview, which is how the Clear Admit Wiki can help. As a free and versatile forum, applicants can recount the full list of questions they’ve been asked from alumni, adcom members or second-year student interviewers and even add personal commentary. This communal sharing of information can help fellow applicants arrive at a feeling of readiness for facing the expected – and the unexpected – questions.
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?)
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the Clear Admit Wiki and helped fellow applicants prepare for MBA admissions interviews this season! 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.
