I had similar experience to poster below me. Was told to tell my life story and begin with childhood. This is unusual, so recommend preparing some early childhood stories that relate to your broader vision for MBA etc. They want to know what you’ll do with MBA, and are interested in how this relates to globalization/global issues etc. 30 minutes to tell your story actually can go by quickly, so do try to plan a bit.
