InterviewsSelected applicants will receive an invitation to interview. This interview is an important component of the W. P. Carey MBA application process since it provides an opportunity to learn more about your background and interest in our program and it also allows you to learn more about the culture and strength of our MBA program.
We encourage applicants to schedule the admissions interview at your earliest convenience upon receipt of an interview invitation. Interview invitations are sent by e-mail. Interview time selection should be completed at least seven business days in advance.
Based on your current country of residence, the W. P. Carey MBA offers a number of interview alternatives. Review the recommended format and the available dates to complete the admissions interview based on your country of residence.
