General Rules for Asking Questions

• Only ask about topics you genuinely care about. You want to appear sincere and interested, not desperate for something to say.
• Research the topic thoroughly before mentioning it so that you can engage in a subsequent discussion. Prepare for your interview just as you would for an exam.
• Make sure the answer isn't obvious or has already been answered.
• Ask the appropriate person. Faculty members can offer a better perspective on certain issues than business students and vice versa.
• Watch your tone of voice and your body language. Many nervous applicants are unintentionally rude when they ask questions, which automatically puts off the interviewer. Be gracious and diplomatic in how you phrase your questions and reply to responses.
