I interviewed with an Adcom and had an observer present. The tone of the interview was conversational, mostly resume-based to begin with and a couple of deeper follow-ups on resume as per HBS’s typical interview style. Nothing was very surprising, although there were two questions that made me think a bit more before I responded. One of the questions had to do with how my client responded to my recommendation as a consultant; the follow-up was, what would I have done as a C-suite executive at the client’s company? The other question was about companies I wanted to join post-business school. After I mentioned the company, I was asked if I thought they had a solid business model and why. Overall I had a pleasant experience – I really didn’t feel the intensity that others claim about HBS interviews, it was really conversational and engaging.

The interviewer kind of hinted I would be rejected or waitlist in the end of the meeting. Could feel the negativity from him in the when I received his email. He seems not to be grateful about or satisfied with his Ross experience. Don’t know why he volunteered to interview for the school. The result could be exactly the same if I was interviewed by someone else. But I have to say this alum showed me a poor image of Ross even if I was accepted. Well, that’s the way it is. Congratulations to all the folks who made it.
