The MBA interview season typically begins after the initial screening of applicants at top MBA programs, inviting 30%-50% of candidates to the admission interview. This 'second stage' of the admissions process can involve on-campus interviews by admissions committee members or students (e.g., Cornell, Wharton), or off-campus interviews usually conducted by alumni. Some schools, like Kellogg, interview all applicants pre-application. If invited, candidates should prepare using resources like ARINGO tips for MBA interviews and common interview questions. ARINGO has a strong track record, with many candidates invited to interview at top programs like Chicago Booth, London Business School, Harvard Business School, and Stanford.
