The following Harvard Business School interview report was submitted to Clear Admit by a Round 2 applicant. Good luck to them!
The interview went by very quickly. There were no other candidates in the waiting area. I arrived a few minutes early and waited until my exact scheduled time. The questions I received were all discussed in blogs. We spent the first half of the time talking through my most recent work history and explaining my roles and accomplishments that I had discussed in my application. As others have mentioned, transitions and clarity in your explanation are key.
Other questions:
- Tell me about your current job?
- How would you explain an income statement to a non-finance person?
- Why do you want to go business school?
- What are you currently reading?
- What areas of business interest you outside of your field?
- How did you begin traveling?
- Any other questions you wish we’d have asked you?
