Interview for Grad School at Rutgers on Wednesday AAGGGHHH!!!

divin'darren · 03-29-2009, 09:29 PM

Ok, so I posted a few months ago about GMAT accommodations. Thank you for the help, I took it (nailed it) and I got some applications in. My top choice is Rutgers-Newark Business School for my MBA. They are the best program in NJ.

I got a call very quickly from admissions for an interview. It's on Wednesday and I have a lot of work to do. I need to know the program in and out, and also be prepared to talk about ANYTHING. So who has some experience with this? Anybody in grad school now? I felt when I submitted the application if I could get an interview I'd be solid- but I need to ace it.

How about discussing my injury? I was thinking of giving them a brief background of life/injury to clear that air immediately and let them know where I'm coming from. Thoughts??

My 2cents from job interview experiences - I found it better to first address why I'm there (skills, experience, etc), THEN deal with the elephant in the room. GOOD LUCK!
