Besides PANTS, of course? This cautionary tale came from the very early days of our pandemic times, circa March 2020: You will be wearing PANTS to your Zoom interview. Just in case you have to get up for something! What should you be wearing in the visible frame? Premium content starts here… If you’re reading […]

($) “When should I start practicing for my interview, and how?”

January 20, 2023 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

We got a Plea for Help! from a distressed BSer in December, asking for some guidance on what may have gone wrong in their Round 1 applications, and they ended up going for the Post-Mortem Review (rejected app analysis) — and through that process, it was determined that they didn’t really do anything wrong in […]

People sometimes do odd things in high-stress situations, including basically any type of presentation, or even just when having the floor in a meeting with colleagues and seniors. Some of these things you may not even know that you do. Some are like those verbal tics that you might observe when someone is speaking. They […]

“What do you do for fun?”

October 14, 2022 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

Simple question, eh? It’s crazy how much BSers trip over it. This is the type of question that often comes up towards the end of the MBA interview, when your interviewer is winding down from the hardcore “Why do you want an MBA and what do you bring to the table?” types of questions. As […]

($) “Tell me about yourself.”

October 12, 2022 by EssaySnark

Today we’re going to talk about a question that is frequently served up at the very beginning of an interview — MBA interview or job interview or whatever other type of interview you may be faced with: “Tell me about yourself.” You **MUST** prepare for this question.

($) The downsides of alumni interviewing

October 11, 2022 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

This post is kind of in the category of “informative but potentially useless” (hmm, how many of our posts are in that category??? we, of course, write them to be useful, but do you actually use them? The ‘Snark ponders). Knowing that there are downsides to going through an alumni interview for your MBA application, […]

($) You’re invited to interview at Harvard. Huzzah!! Now, what questions are you going to ask your interviewer?

October 7, 2022 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

EssaySnark wants to be there for you on all aspects of your MBA admissions journey, though notably, we don’t do much in the interview prep department (actually, these days, almost zilch). We’ll offer thanks to a BSer who posed a question about this to us as they were starting to think through the strategy and […]

What Harvard says to you on Thursday is near-meaningless

October 3, 2022 by EssaySnark - Discusses Harvard Leave a Comment

Well, unless of course, if Harvard says they want to meet you to interview!! For the loads of other candidates who are going to be told, “sorry” and given the so-called Early Release from Harvard’s Round 1, this Thursday is going to massively suck. A very large percentage of those people are actually TOTALLY QUALIFIED […]
