Interviews

Interview Format

The admissions interview is an important component of the W. P. Carey MBA application process. It provides the Admissions Committee the opportunity to learn more about your background and interest in our program. It also allows you to learn more about the culture and strength of our MBA program.

• Interviews last approximately 50 minutes and usually include an MBA Ambassador and/or a member of the W. P. Carey MBA Admissions office, faculty or alumni.
• Questions will focus on your academic and professional accomplishments and goals.
• Business professional attire is appropriate for the interview.

Upon completion of the interview and our receipt of all supplemental materials, you will be notified of our decision. Should you be awarded any merit-based scholarship, this information will be included in the admission decision letter.

Interview Scheduling

We encourage you to schedule your admissions interview at your earliest convenience upon receipt of an interview invitation. Invitations are sent by e-mail, and you will be asked to schedule your interview online. You will need the ASURITE ID and password sent to you by the Graduate College to access this Web site. Interview time selection should be completed at least seven business days in advance.

All applicants unable to complete the interview in the recommended format listed below must request approval from the W. P. Carey MBA Admissions Committee to use an alternate format.

Depending 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.

United States

Applicants residing in the United States are strongly encouraged to interview on-campus so we can meet you and introduce you to our staff, faculty and students.  On-campus interviews may be scheduled in conjunction with other campus visit activities such as an MBA classroom experience, lunch with a current MBA student and a campus tour. Classroom visits are only available Monday through Thursday.

Other Countries

Applicants living outside of North America who are unable to travel to the U.S. to complete the admissions interview in person are strongly encouraged to interview via webcam. Webcam interviews require access to a personal computer with both pre-loaded webcam equipment and Internet. Webcam interviews are available Monday to Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Arizona time.
