You’ve prepped for the GMAT, aced TOEFL with grace,

You’ve picked schools, oh so carefully, just the right place.

You’ve slaved over applications, the essays, the stress,

With stories so polished, they’re almost a success!


Work experience? Check! Recommendations galore!

You’ve climbed every ladder, you’ve opened each door.

You’ve crafted your future, your dreams in full view,

Now breathe in, exhale, here’s what you should do.


The alumni interview, it's not what you think,

It’s more like a chat, with a friend in the blink.

Forget the gatekeeper, the questions, the quiz,

It’s all about you, your career, and your biz.


Do your plans make sense, are they down to earth?

If not, no judgment, just a gentle rebirth.

The alumni will guide you, show you the way,

To a more feasible dream, or a brighter new day.


It’s not about stories or how you impress,

It’s all about presence, emotional finesse.

Will you fit in the class? Will you grow, will you learn?

Are you curious enough to take every turn?


And about school selection, well... what were you thinking?

But hey, no worries, it’s all in the blinking!

A scholarship nod? Well, wouldn’t that be swell?

But it’s just the beginning—more stories to tell.


Now pack up your bags, move continents with pride,

The grind of the MBA, a thrilling new ride.

Career change, oh boy, it’s a bumpy road,

But relax—you're in good hands, so lighten the load.


The alumni’s been there, done that, seen it all,

So listen, ask questions, stand tall, stand tall!

Present yourself well, with a spark in your eye,

All the best to you—this is your time to fly!
