The following MIT Sloan MBA interview report was submitted to Clear Admit by a Round 1 applicant. Good luck to them!
I visited MIT Sloan and was interviewed by an adcom. The interview was very behaviorally-focused, almost exclusively. There were no “walk me through your résumé” or “why do you want an MBA?” softball questions.
He asked me to talk about a time when I had to work with two conflicting parties and a time where I disagreed with a supervisor. I tried to focus on why I was successful in each of these instances and, in cases where I thought I could’ve handled it better, I explained what I had learned from the experience. I was surprised that the interview had almost nothing to do with Sloan itself, and it didn’t seem that the adcom was overtly looking for “fit.”
