Mock Interview Program - When it comes to interviewing you can never have too much practice or feedback. Over 80 mock interviews for MBA students were conducted this year using more then 35 alumni and friends of the School. An added perk was that over 65% of the interviews were done off campus at company sites, adding to the realism of the exercise.
