I
recently sat down with Earl Raehsler to get some practical advice for
prospective students who have made it to the next phase of the admissions
process. Earl is the Assistant Director of Admissions for the UC Davis Graduate School of Management, so this advice is coming straight from the source! He’s shared some
sound advice on how to prepare for your big interview at the GSM, which I have
summarized for you here.
Before
I dive in to specifics about wardrobe, however, I thought I’d share an
extremely important piece of insight I got from Earl – if you take anything away
from this blog post, it should be this: the admissions team is looking first
and foremost for candidates who can tell their story in an engaging and
authentic manner. Ultimately, Earl and his team are looking at the person you
will become two years down the road if you are accepted. They are evaluating you
today, but also what you will look like to job recruiters when you graduate. Savvy
candidates will keep this in mind every step of the way!
And
now, on to the fashion! Read on to learn specific tips that came up in our conversation.
