Hi Mr. Army Marketing, Melisa here from Stratus Admissions. First, thanks for your service to our country and as an alum, I am super excited that you are interviewing at Haas! We had a West Pointer in my class as well. You are over half the way there. And with an interview, it’s clear Haas is interested. As an alumni interviewer for over 10 years, my suggestion is to be yourself. It sounds like you want to head back to the army post-MBA. It’s not clear here whether you are applying for PT or FT. If PT, I’m sure you know the interview is digitized, which can be a bit odd to interact with. Don’t overthink it and be authentic. If FT, this will be …

If PT, I’m sure you know the interview is digitized, which can be a bit odd to interact with. Don’t overthink it and be authentic. If FT, this will be an opportunity to show how you connect with the defining principles of Haas. Think about your 5-6 most impactful stories and reflect on what questions they might be able to answer. This way you can make sure that your strongest stories come through in the interview. Wishing you the best of luck!

You might be a better fit for executive MBA programs, based on years of work experience. I have never heard of the Army Marketing program, and I was in the Marines and work in marketing now. So I highly doubt an adcom knows what that is, make sure to explain it to them without using military jargon. I think you'll need a lot more detail in your post-MBA goals You're clearly very academic, with your stats, West Point, Lejeune writing award, and being a professor. That background coupled with many years of leadership experience, I think you'll definitely get into a great EMBA program, if Haas doesn't work out.
