The AIM Blogger

It seems that it's admissions time once again: I've been getting some queries about the Asian Institute of Management  in this blog and a certain thread in Pagalguy is active (yeah, I've been posting my own replies to that and a few other threads). The most common posts are about questions about the school and, of course, placement. Most people there want to balance the information asymmetry by asking all they could ask.

SyCip Graduate School of Business in AIM and that means people getting invited for interviews and group discussions, people taking the AIMAT and plenty of questions! I've been getting emails and messages as of late on the topic of AIM MBA admissions and I'd like to devote some space in this blog about these inquiries. I really like answering emails, so I'm creating a little section here called "Ask The AIM Blogger." For the first question, I got this message about interviews (I edited the message to omit some specific information): Hey I am to be interviewed by [AIM Faculty Name here] .

Thanks (I know i am asking for more... but if u can please help I shall be ...
