Episode 23: Interviews IV: Killer Questions

The most common difficult questions that are asked in MBA admissions interviews include:

-Provide an example of a failure in which you were involved and what you learned from the experience.

-Where else are you applying?

-Describe a conflict at work you were involved in and how it was resolved.

-Do you have any concerns about getting an MBA?

-How do those close to you describe you in three words?

This lesson unpacks strategies for effectively responding to each of these challenging interview questions. We also reference Clear Admit’s Interview Archive, which you can find here. The archive can help you to uncover the full range of question types in use at leading MBA programs.
