My interview occurred in London today, and it was conducted by one admission committee member – which is of norm for HBS. It started slightly late, but exited exactly after 30 minutes punctually.
Echoing with people who have reported their interviews earlier at BW, I found no curve-ball questions, and the entire conversation was pretty much surrounding my personal experiences and HBS.
Questions:
Why I join X?
What is my current role?
What did I exactly do to solve the challenge in my current role (in my essay too), and achieve the result?
Why MBA? Why HBS?
My uniqueness to bring to the class

Relax and be yourself!
I feel that it went on okay – I told myself prior to the interview that I would for sure forget to raise some points or stories that I had prepared – and it was true. Again, not much feedback from the interview itself, and the interviewer is very professional and friendly. I left with the legendary HBS ball pen and a paper folder. When I claimed my coat and handbags at reception, I saw the next candidate… It is a really tied up schedule!
I am so happy that I can eventually put a full-stop here, as I will leave the rest with "god" (uncertainty). Wish everyone good luck!
FYI – for guys who don’t know me, my background: modest G, T and GPA, 4 yr intl/global working experiences in various industries, non-IB/MC/HF/PE candidates. |
