Interview

Application Review
Your application will be reviewed by the Admissions Board.
1. Submit A Written Application
To apply to Boston International Business School, we ask you to assemble and prepare a variety of materials that will help us assess your qualifications. All materials must be submitted online by the application deadlines.
What You Need to Prepare
Official academic transcripts from all post-secondary institutions attended are required. We evaluate your academic performance in the context of the opportunities available to you.
- Upload unofficial transcripts with your application
- Official transcripts required upon admission
- International transcripts must include English translations
2. Interview
After your written application has been submitted and reviewed, you may be invited to interview. Interviews are 30 minutes and are conducted by an MBA Admissions Board member who has reviewed your application. Your interview will be tailored to you and is designed for us to learn more about you in the context of a conversation.
The interview is a positive indicator of interest, but is not a guarantee of admission; it serves as one element among many that are considered as we complete a final review of your candidacy. All interviews are conducted by invitation only, at the discretion of the Admissions Board.
Interviews may be scheduled on campus, in domestic or international hub cities, or via Zoom. Neither the timing of your interview invitation nor its format implies anything about the status of your application.
Interview Format
Interviews are conversational and based on your application. Come prepared to discuss your experiences, goals, and what you hope to gain from the BIBS MBA.
