How do I differentiate between a strength and an achievement?

An achievement is a story about something you did that was important. It shows why you did it. A strength is something you’re good at and you can give a quick example.

What if I have a low GMAT or a gap in my resume?

You should proactively mitigate these concerns. Identify the weakest point of your application and explain how you have compensated for it or how the MBA will resolve the gap.

What is the most important part of a leadership story?

The important part is what you did to solve the problem. You must explain how you made decisions and worked with people.

How should I handle the “Questions for the Interviewer” section?

Prepare three personal questions that will let the committee talk about their experience at the school. Ask them about what they like and what they think is the thing about it.

How long should my resume walk-through be?

It should be 3 minutes. Start with an introduction and focus on why you made certain choices and what you learned. Do not get stuck, on the details of your job.
