Harvard MBA Admissions Interview Questions

I had my interview with adcom on campus mid December. The adcom was nice and friendly. However, she tried to find questions that I was not comfortable with and could have not prepared for. She asked several questions specifics to my essays and also asked me to explain the content of a class I had visited a couple of weeks ago. Other questions included:

  1. What is unique about you? How would you contribute to the HBS classroom?
  2. Tell me about a CEO that you admire but a CEO you have not worked with.
  3. What are your strengths and weaknesses?
  4. Tell me about an experience with a bad / challenging superior. How did you deal with it?
  5. What do you think will be most challenging about attending HBS?
  6. Is there anything else that we have not covered in this interview that you would want me to know about you or your application?

I suggest practicing some but not too much for the interview. You want to sound genuine during the conversation.
