Interview questions...

by bzborow1 » Sun Mar 01, 2009 3:02 pm
Hi guys,

I rushed the GMAT and took the test after only 3 weeks, so needless to say I could have done a LOT better. However my score was still good enough to get an interview request from the school. I'm wondering if anyone here knows of any good MBA Interview prep material, as well I'd like to know how to address the GMAT score in the interview? I could tell them why my score was low but that may reflect more poorly.

Also, by nature I tend to be a bit of an introvert, which would seem at odds with all the "explain how you'd be a leader?" type of questions. So how might someone who's introverted come at those type of questions? I've achieved success in my career to date, and now work as a senior GIS developer and work with a small staff that I have to assure they have work...though i'm technically not a manager.

thoughts? As well as any other thoughts on the MBA interview process?
