Apart from the validation of the information provided by you in the application form, your suitability & personality for the MBA programme is assessed. This sometimes takes the form of a group interview wherein 3 to 6 candidates are interviewed simultaneously. The interview panel usually consists of a psychoanalyst who keeps monitoring your body language. Weightage is given to your past academic performance as it is a reasonable indicator of your likely performance in the MBA program. See similar questions...

A Personal History Interview is conducted over the telephone and takes about ten to fifteen minutes.

USC offers on- and off-campus interviews throughout the fall. USC's admission interviews are evaluative in nature, and the notes from each interview are considered by the committee during the review process. The size of our annual applicant pool precludes us from interviewing every applicant, therefore this element of the application is strictly optional. Past history has shown that there is no appreciable difference in the admission rates of students who are not interviewed. See similar questions...

The interview is kept confidential. Nothing that you say will be shared with anyone outside of the interviewer and the evaluation team, unless you specifically request that we share this information. The only instance in which we would be forced to share information from an interview is if a person was planning to commit a violent crime or was abusing a child (the law requires us to share this information).
