London Business School MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Round 1 / Alumni

The interview lasted over 1.5 hours. The interviewer was very personable, and we met in her office. These are roughly the questions I was asked (tough to remember all of them given that the interview was quite long).

Tell me about your job. What are your responsibilities? What do you do on an average day? What do you like about your role? What do you dislike about it? What are you strengths and weaknesses? Give me an example of leadership (this is where I was told that I needed to provide a more recent professional example). How do you deal with challenging situations… give me an example. How do you deal with difficult group members?

For the presentation, I was asked to answer one of the prompts. I had 5 minutes to prepare and then approximately 5 minutes to present my argument. It really was not difficult and actually was rather fun. I structured my presentation with an introduction to re-state the issue, introduced my recommendation, presented three salient points to support my position, and finished with a conclusion that re-capped the strength of my argument.

At the end, I had the opportunity to ask questions (which I took advantage of, b/c I have not visited the school).
