My Background:

My HBS Interview:

Telephone/30 minutes/5 big questions/many small questions/a nice lady

To my big surprise, no challenging questions, only curiosity about me.

1.       hobby & what I learn &how I contribute this hobby to society

2.       how I got the idea of one essay(she likes it so much~ J)

3.       a small question about a story in one recommendation

4.       my understanding of leadership

5.       how my colleagues describe my leadership style

6.       how I got my current position in the company

7.       how I feel as a female in Mathematics department& Trading team (she was always helping me find my uniqueness, magic!)

8.       volunteer activity & how I keep up(Actually I didn’t keep up, I successfully escaped from this topic and took chance to sell my next point)

9.       long-term goal (I mentioned more about why this goal and led her asking my next question)

10.   an experience in NYC

11.   any concern about coming to HBS

12.   anything I feel I don’t have chance to mention (I chose my contribution to HBS if admitted)

I want to say more… but oh, time is over.

More tips about HBS interview:

(from HBS current student)

-Review your essays and be familiar with the stories. They might ask follow up questions to address their concerns.

-Prepare additional stories regarding leadership, career, or personal achievement, in case they ask you to give some recent examples.

-English capability is key. You need to be fluent. 

-Don't make speeches when answering the questions. Try to make it as a conversation with interactions.

-Be natural. There's no certain type of "HBS candidate". Be yourself is important.

-Prepare some questions for them as if you really think of going to hbs. Show your interest and excitement about hbs.

I was not sure whether I had done a good job since I felt so nervous that day! He reminded me almost 4 times that I should calm down! But to some degree, nervousness could be misinterpreted as passion!J

2.       career goal
