HBS MBA Interview Questions & Report: Round 1 / Adcom / Zoom
*This interview was for Class of 2023.
The interviews was both application and resume-based. She first asked about my overall purpose to get an MBA, referring to my essays. Then, she went over the details of my resume, such as the current news about the topic of undergrad dissertation, the clubs I was part of, etc.
What surprised me was that she didn’t ask anything about my current job or my future goals, rather she asked about something she read on one of my letters of recommendation (I didn’t know that my recommender included that story).
Overall atmosphere was very friendly, she looked like she was trying to help me.
