Similar to the previous post, I wanted to wait until my decision was official. But I received the fantastic news today, so I wanted to share some insight. I interviewed on campus and came a day early, which if you can, I recommend so you can get settled in and not feel the anxiety of traveling and interviewing on the same day. I visited a class, which I also recommend, as I definitely spoke about that experience in my interview. I was ready for any question related to my application, but to my surprise, most of my ?s were not directly related to my app. My questions:
- How are you dealing with this current work situation? (my company had been in the news, and he went right to the elephant in the room) (several follow-up questions)
- What is your short term career goal? (I spoke about my long term goal in my “why mba” essay)
- Why do you want to pursue your long term goal?
- Break down the marketing strategy of a company in your industry
- Where do you think you might struggle at HBS?
- What is a performance weakness at work that you are working to improve?
- Tell me about a company outside of your industry that you are following
- Is there anything that you wished I asked you or you wanted to share?
I am sure there were other questions, but I don’t remember exactly. It was a blur! You will be shocked when they say your 30 min is up. Be confident, but be humble. Good luck!
