Mistakes to Avoid Before & After Your MBA Interview

Your MBA interview begins the moment you arrive on campus, and technically, your assessment can include any communication you’ve had with an admissions committee representative up until that point.
Each and every interaction counts, from coffee chats with current students, to an encounter with a professor, to your exchange with the receptionist. And it isn’t over when you leave the interview – follow up is a key part of the assessment.
“When I was head of Wharton admissions, we had a fabulous receptionist. Like other administrative staff, she was on the front lines of interactions with prospective students,” says my colleague and Fortuna Admissions co-founder, Judith Silverman Hodara. “If a candidate wasn’t gracious to her, wasn’t polite – or worse, dismissive or patronizing – she let us know about it. I really appreciated it.”
Annual baked bean supper goes virtual
MOUNT DESERT Baked beans are an important part of Maine culinary life. Recipes are much debated, with bakers arguing about which ingredients make the best beans, and which variety of beans to use. Baked bean suppers are a Maine tradition, bringing generations together to share a meal, exchange news and spin a few yarns.
The Mount Desert Island Historical Society’s 10th Annual Baked Bean Supper will still capture these important elements of a traditional baked bean supper, but due to COVID-19 restrictions, the event will take place online instead of at MDI High School.
