The following Harvard Business School interview questions and report were submitted to Clear Admit by a Round 1 applicant. Good luck to them!
It was super friendly. She started out with explaining the process; she had 30 minutes to interview and 30 minutes to write a report. The report got added to my application and to be reviewed as part of the whole package later.
It was basically a walk through the resume; oldest (education… why XXX school?) to most recent (tell me about this accomplishment at work). She had reviewed my entire application previously. It seemed like she knew a lot about me already. She had specific questions to ask. All I had to do was answer them. No curve balls, not even “what’s your leadership style?” or “tell me about a time that…”, just follow up questions to get greater detail. No time at the end for “do you have any questions for me?”
