Dear Pranjali,

Congratulations on your invitation and I hope by this time you have scheduled your interview. If you received an invitation, then you need to accept it immediately. Most business schools only have the interviewer review your resume prior to the interview, so those other items do not necessarily need to be submitted prior to your interview date. For many schools, UNC included, they will make a determination on whether or not to interview an applicant based on the detail you already submitted: resume, GMAT, GPA, and personal/employment history. However, your actual admissions decision will be based on an evaluation of those items plus your essays, recommendations and interview.

Good luck,
Lisa

Yes, you need to be in professional dress unless you are instructed differently. Business school interviews are like job interviews--they are professional in nature and will cover much of your career to date. I agree that an alumni interview is preferable and hope you are able to secure one. My main advice is to be ready to answer all questions around your career to date, why an MBA, why now, why UNC, and your career goals.

Good luck!
Lisa
