Had two alumni interviews in Toronto. One was at the alumni’s office, the other at a hotel lobby nearby the others office. Both interviews were laid back and conversational. Both began with tell me about your career path so far, your reasons for doing an MBA, and your intended career trajectory. Both also asked ‘why INSEAD over another school?’ While both these lines of questioning were expected, I was surprised there weren’t any technical or situational questions. This led me to believe that INSEAD would rather qualitatively get to know their candidates in the interview process and have already vetted them quantitatively through other parts of the application process.
