As you have asked about the MBA Interview dos and don'ts, I am giving you some information about it

DO reach out to the interviewer to schedule your interview ASAP (when applicable). DON’T wait until last minute.
Remain flexible in scheduling, and show your excitement

Do prepare and practice answers for common interview questions. Don’t wait until the night before to begin preparation.
The sooner you start, the more comfortable you will be.

Do dress for success. Jeans and T-shirts have no place at an interview.
When in doubt, be conservative.

DO be yourself! Remember, they selected you to interview because they’re already impressed. Tell the truth – this will convey confidence and authenticity.

Do turn off your cell phone or better yet, don't take it into the interview.

DON’T arrive too early.Sit in the waiting room or outside and do not announce your arrival until 15 minutes before the scheduled meeting.

DON’T be a broken record.
Be prepared to answer the all-important questions of why you want to study an MBA and why you want to study at the school in question in a way that supports your application narrative, but avoid responding as if you’re reciting your essay.

Do greet the interviewer by title and last name.
If you are given a tour of the facility, greet every person you see with courtesy and respect.
