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.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
