I interviewed at my interviewers office for 75 minutes. My interviewer was a recent graduate. The questions I was asked were:
- Can you walk me through your resume?
- What do you currently do?
- Career Goals? Short term / Long term?
- You already have great finance experience to achieve your goals. Why do you need an MBA?
- Why LBS? How LBS differentiates from the other school you applied to?
- Do you have any back up plan in case your goals are not achievable?
- Could you describe your extracurriculars?
- How will you contribute to the school?
I was then asked questions on part of my essays which clearly showed my interviewer had throroughly read my application.
I then had to do a small presentation. My interviewer had the choice between several questions and asked me to prepare how I would handle a specific corporate predicament. I had 2 minutes to prepare and 3-5 minutes to present it. There is no need to prepare for that part of the interview. Just make sure your presentation is well structured and that you convey your message with confidence.
We chatted for the rest of the time. He presented his background. I asked him specific questions about the school and his career choices.
