| Here is a recent HBS MBA admissions interview report: It was truly an enjoyable experience. From the time you check in until you leave, they work hard to help you relax and be comfortable. As far as the interview goes, they brought the group of us with interviews in our time slot up to a lounge area surrounded by small conference rooms. One-by-one, adcom members came out and called people into their room. In the room, my interviewer and observer introduced themselves. The interviewer explained that she is very familiar with my application and would be asking the questions. The observer would be quiet and taking notes. Then the interview started…
1. Pretend it’s the first day of class. How would you introduce yourself to your new classmates? Altogether, I thought it was a very good experience. Her questions were tailored to specific aspects of my application that she wanted clarification on or better understanding of. I was surprised that there were zero behavioral questions and very little probing on my goals or why an MBA/HBS. The time went very quickly and she promptly moved the conversation along so that I could answer all of her questions. She seemed genuinely interested in me and my story, nodding and smiling when appropriate. With that being said, it was hard to tell whether it went very well or poorly, and my fellow interviewees felt the same way. I am sure that is intentional. The rest of the day was spent with the planned on-campus activities. They were incredibly insightful about HBS and it was very fun to spend the day with potential future classmates.
