Graduate School Mock Interview

Admissions boards receive thousands of applications each year full of high GPAs, great test scores, and well-crafted resumes. The interview is your chance to distinguish yourself from the pack. After it, for better or for worse, your admissions officers will remember the interview each time they see your name. With our interview preparation services, we ensure you are fully prepared to connect with the interviewers and portray youregarded by them as warmly as possible. Let's face it - there are right answers to those "there is no right answer" questions. With our consultants, avoid cliches, hesitation and awkwardness, and learn how to confidently project your aspirations.

Graduate School Case Interview

When you prepare for a case interview, you are not only increasing your odds of landing a lucrative consulting assignment, you are also training your brain to analyze problems systematically and innovatively.

Case interview questions tend to coalesce around specific topics relating to a firm's outlook, such as operational concerns, government regulation, or its market share in relation to the market's size. They also often include questions of logic and reasoning to test your ability to find solutions no matter what may be constraining your options.

Case interviews force candidates to think under pressure creatively within a time constraint. Candidates' thought processes are evaluated for efficiency, effectiveness and the profundity of their thought process. More generally, the communication abilities and overall knowledge of the candidates are scrutinized as well. To this end, proactive listening is just as important as articulately speaking. Without appreciating the subtleties of effective communication, it is impossible for a candidate to present oneself as a problem solver. Getting an answer right is only the first step. The significance of creativity and displaying thoroughness during the interview cannot be taken lightly.

Many of our instructors have extensive experience working for top consulting firms, and have earned either dual master's or PhD degrees. When you want to hone your case interview performance, they are the best asset you can have. Don't undercut yourself by relying solely on case interview books and practice sessions with friends and fellow students. Instead, by practicing with our seasoned team, you can exude confidence by feeling the marked improvement in your case interview performance.

Recent Grad School Admissions Student Success

"My experience with Tom was extremely positive, and I ended up getting accepted to all three schools that I applied to (with scholarship/fellowship offers to Minnesota and Boston College). I would highly recommend using Tom’s services to anyone, as he seems to have a strong passion for Admissions Consulting. Tom helped ease my nerves about the Admissions process, and ended up being a crucial asset for my application process. Also, I like that he is very upfront and honest when dealing with students (at least in my experience with him). I feel that Tom can help with applications to pretty much any type of graduate program, he seems to generally know what any kind of program would want to see in a candidate."
