MBA Interviews: Answer The Question Immediately -- Great Advice For This Superstar

Here’s some core advice for a successful MBA admissions interview: Answer the question immediately and as concisely as possible. You don’t need to wind up or a curtain raiser. Just get right to it.

That’s the advice HBSGuru.com Founder Sandy Kreisberg and Poets&Quants Editor John A. Byrne deliver in this episode to a super star candidate.

Ishu has everything it takes to get into a highly selective MBA program. He brings with him a 760 GMAT, an 8.24 GPA out of a 10.0 at IIT in Dhanbad, India, and work experience with three well-known and highly respected global companies. And he plays an excellent game of snooker.

His post-MBA goal is to land a role on the leadership team of a healthcare startup, with the eventual objective of starting his own firm in that industry.

In this episode of Friday’s With Sandy, he is taken through the paces of an MBA interview, a prelude to the real thing for an admit to London Business School’s full-time MBA program.
