i am an international applicant, with an off-campus interview coming up in a few weeks. i am thinking of taking a small binder of printed out ppt slides, that contain a brief presentation of myself. i wonder if this is appropriate. my friend pointed out i could be seen as sneaky or not being a fair player. should i just stick to the traditional interview methods?

Stick with traditional, while this could come off well if done perfectly I think there is a lot of risk here.

Unless they ask for it, just go ahead and interview with the people "classic style". Gangdam style is good for MTV! But for Bschool, a wee bit less...

Don't do this, unless you want to be the butt of an adcom's jokes when they tell their colleagues, "you would not believe what an applicant did today..."

You'll be hilarious, but in an unintentional way.
