LBS MBA Interview Questions & Report: Round 1 / Alumna / Off-Campus

I met my alum interviewer in a coffee shop and we spoke for about 1 hour. She started by asking me to tell her about my journey to applying to LBS, why LBS, and why London. We then went into further detail about my current job, my day-to-day roles, challenges I’ve faced and how I’ve overcome them, as well as what back-up options I’d consider if I didn’t land a job in the industry I hoped to post-MBA. Finally, I was given a case about the tech industry (not an industry I have any experience with) and was given five minutes to make a quick verbal presentation. She didn’t have any follow-up questions for me, but did share more about her LBS experience, as well as the internships she landed and how the flexible schedule enabled her to pursue two internships over the summer instead of picking just one. Overall, I really enjoyed my interview experience, though I do wish we had been in a slightly more quiet environment.
