Resume-based Interviews.

The Berkeley Haas MBA program conducts resume-based interviews. A resume-based MBA interview is one in which the interviewer has read your resume but has not read the the rest of your MBA application (recommendations, essays, short answers etc.).

If your MBA interview is in-person, we suggest bringing a paper copy of your resume to the interview location as a courtesy to the interviewer. If your interview takes place online then consider having a PDF copy of your resume handy should the interview request that it be sent via email. Sometimes a busy current student or alum MBA interviewer will not have spent much time reviewing the applicant’s resume before the interview. That’s why Berkeley Haas MBA applicants should be ready to give their interviewer a 2-minute overview of themselves (note that this is often the first interview question anyway, ‘So tell me about yourself…‘).

Influence of interview on admissions decision? Low to Moderate.

The reality is that a successful interview will not help you lock in an admit to Berkeley Haas’s incoming MBA class, but a failed interview can hurt your application. That’s because with so many students and alumni conducting interviews, it’s hard for the admissions committee to normalize positive feedback (one student interviewer might say Tom is ‘great’ while another might report that he’s ‘interesting’). That said, it’s still pretty easy for the admissions committee to take into account blatantly negative feedback “The candidate was totally unprepared to answer even simple questions.” “The candidate was rude.” “The candidate’s English was very difficult to understand.”

Your main goal when interviewing with a current student or alum is for them to like you and to feel that you have something to contribute to the school (both in terms of the professional perspective you will bring to the classroom and the contributions you’ll make within the student community).

Berkeley Haas Mock MBA Interview Service.

In addition to practicing interview questions on your own, our mock interview service can be a great way to receive feedback on your responses (with a view to improving them).

Why school X?). More general questions (Strengths/Weakness?) and behavioral questions (Tell me about a time when…?) are then used to help you develop a core set of stories. Most people have 4 to 8 core stories which they learn to use to answer a variety of interview questions.

Note that a lot of schools have begun asking about diversity, equity, and inclusion during interviews. You should be prepared to talk about these issues and how diversity, equity, or inclusion have played out in your work.

Interviews conducted by alumni.

During the 2022-23 MBA application season, live LBS MBA interviews are led by alumni of the London Business School MBA program.

Application-based Interviews.

The LBS MBA program conducts application-based interviews. That means that your alumni interviewer will have access to your entire application before meeting with you but the extent to which your interviewer will take the time to actually read through your entire application is debatable. Most interviewers will have at least read a candidate’s resume and goals statement (What are your post-MBA goals and how will your prior experience and the London Business School programme contribute towards these?). That’s why we suggest that you prepare a 2-minute overview of yourself for the beginning of the interview (note that a common first interview question is ‘So tell me about yourself…‘).

If your MBA interview is in-person, bring a paper copy of your resume to the interview location as a courtesy to the interviewer. If the interview takes place online then applicants should have a PDF copy of their resume handy should the interview request that it be sent via email.

Influence of interview on admissions decision? Low to Moderate.

The reality is that a successful interview will not help you lock in an admit to LBS’s incoming MBA class, but a failed interview can hurt your application. That’s because with so many alumni conducting interviews, it’s hard for the admissions committee to normalize positive feedback (one alum interviewer might say Tom is ‘great’ while another might report that he’s ‘interesting’. That said, it’s still pretty easy for the admissions committee to take into account blatantly negative feedback “The candidate was totally unprepared to answer even simple questions.” “The candidate was rude.” “The candidate’s English was very difficult to understand.”

Influence of interview on admissions decision? Moderate.

Fuqua’s admissions committee members are obviously well-trained in conducting interviews. Its student interviewers are likewise trained (albeit to a lesser extent). Admissions committee member-led interviews are probably more likely to influence admissions decision than student-led interviews which have only a moderate influence on admissions decisions. That’s because with so many students conducting interviews it can be difficult for the admissions committee to normalize positive feedback from students (one student interviewer might say Tom is ‘great’ while another might report that he’s ‘interesting’).

NYU Stern MBA Interview Overview.

Each year the NYU Stern admissions committee invites a limited number of applicants to interview for its MBA program. Top MBA programs like NYU Stern generally interview 2-3 applicants for every available place in their upcoming MBA class. While an invite is sign that you’re in the running for an admit, you’re also now part of a highly competitive subset of the overall applicant pool. You can prepare for your interview with the help of this guide and, optionally, the Mock Interview Service.

Tip: Wondering if interview invites have already gone out? Check out MBA LiveWire for real-time updates.

Interviews conducted by trained admissions committee members.

During the 2022-23 MBA application season, NYU Stern MBA interviews are conducted by trained admissions committee members.

Application-based Interviews.

The NYU Stern MBA program conducts application-based interviews. That means that your admissions committee interviewer(s) will have access to and will have reviewed your entire application before meeting with you. But don’t expect questions highly tailored to your application (like at HBS). At NYU Stern the questions are typical and predictable (often focusing on goals).

If your MBA interview is in-person, we recommend bringing a paper copy of your resume to the interview location as a courtesy to the interviewer. If the interview takes place online then have a PDF copy of your resume handy should the interview request that it be sent via email.

Influence of interview on admissions decision? Moderate to high.

When a school relies exclusively on a small group of trained admissions committee members to conduct interviews (as does NYU Stern), the interview plays a more significant role in the admissions process than at schools with student and alumni interviewers.

NYU Stern Mock MBA Interview Service.

Why school X?). More general questions (Strengths/Weakness?) and behavioral questions (Tell me about a time when…?) are then used to help you develop a core set of stories. Most people have 4 to 8 core stories which they learn to use to answer a variety of interview questions.

Influence of interview on admissions decision? Low to Moderate.

The reality is that a successful interview will not help you lock in an admit to Columbia’s incoming MBA class, but a failed interview can hurt your application. That’s because with so many students and alumni conducting interviews, it’s hard for the admissions committee to normalize positive feedback (one alum interviewer might say Tom is ‘great’ while another might report that he’s ‘interesting’. That said, it’s still pretty easy for the admissions committee to take into account blatantly negative feedback “The candidate was totally unprepared to answer even simple questions.” “The candidate was rude.” “The candidate’s English was very difficult to understand.”

Your main goal when interviewing with a current student or alum is for them to like you and to think that you have something to contribute to the school (both in terms of the professional perspective you will bring to the classroom and the contributions you’ll make within the student community).

Chicago Booth MBA Interview Overview.

Each year the Chicago Booth admissions committee invites a limited number of applicants to interview for its MBA program. Top MBA programs like Chicago Booth generally interview 2-3 applicants for every available place in their upcoming MBA class. While an invite is sign that you’re in the running for an admit, you’re also now part of a highly competitive subset of the overall applicant pool. You can prepare for your interview with the help of this guide and, optionally, the Mock Interview Service.

Tip: Wondering if interview invites have already gone out? Check out MBA LiveWire for real-time updates.

Interviews conducted by students and alumni.

During the 2022-23 MBA application season, live Chicago Booth MBA interviews are led by students and alumni of the Chicago Booth MBA program.

Resume-based Interviews.

Chicago Booth MBA program conducts resume-based interviews. A resume-based MBA interview is one in which the interviewer has read your resume but has not read the the rest of your MBA application (recommendations, essays, short answers etc.).

If the MBA interview is in-person, bring a paper copy of your resume to the interview location as a courtesy to the interviewer. If the interview takes place online then applicants should have a PDF copy of their resume handy should the interview request that it be sent via email. Sometimes a busy current student or alum MBA interviewer will not have spent much time reviewing the applicant’s resume before the interview. That’s why Chicago Booth MBA applicants should be ready to give their interviewer a 2-minute overview of themselves at the beginning of the interview if asked (note that this is often the first interview question anyway, ‘So tell me about yourself…‘).

Influence of interview on admissions decision? Low to Moderate.

The reality is that a successful interview will not help you lock in an admit to Chicago Booth’s incoming MBA class, but a failed interview can hurt your application. That’s because with so many students and alumni conducting interviews, it’s hard for the admissions committee to normalize positive feedback (one alum interviewer might say Tom is ‘great’ while another might report that he’s ‘interesting’. That said, it’s still pretty easy for the admissions committee to take into account blatantly negative feedback “The candidate was totally unprepared to answer even simple questions.” “The candidate was rude.” “The candidate’s English was very difficult to understand.”

Your main goal when interviewing with a current student or alum is for them to like you and to think that you have something to contribute to the school (both in terms of the professional perspective you will bring to the classroom and the contributions you’ll make within the student community).

MIT Sloan MBA & LGO Interview Overview.

Each year the MIT Sloan admissions committee invites a limited number of applicants to interview for its MBA program and its LGO program. Top MBA programs like MIT Sloan generally interview 2-3 applicants for every available place in their upcoming MBA & LGO class. While an invite is sign that you’re in the running for an admit, you’re also now part of a highly competitive subset of the overall applicant pool. You can prepare for your interview with the help of this guide and, optionally, the Mock Interview Service. Tip: Wondering if interview invites have already gone out? Check out MBA LiveWire for real-time updates.

Interviews conducted by trained admissions committee members.

During the 2022-23 MBA application season, MIT Sloan MBA & LGO interviews are conducted by trained admissions committee members. In the past, candidates were interviewed by two admissions committee members (with one asking questions and the other taking notes). More recently candidates have been interviewed by just one interviewer.

Application-based Interviews.

The MIT Sloan MBA program and the LGO program conduct application-based interviews. That means that your admissions committee interviewer(s) will have access to and will have reviewed your entire application before meeting with you. At MIT Sloan, interview questions are primarily behavioral questions that are chosen to ensure that a candidate is well-rounded. For example, a candidate who presents as highly quantitative in her written application may receive behavioral questions centered on soft skills (teamwork or communication). In addition to preparing stories to respond to the behavioral questions you’ll receive, it’s a good idea to go to your interview prepared to give your interviewer a 2-minute overview of yourself at the beginning of the interview if asked (‘Tell me about yourself…‘). If your MBA or LGO interview is in-person, bring a paper copy of your resume to the interview location as a courtesy to the interviewer. If the interview takes place online then applicants should have a PDF copy of their resume handy should the interview request that it be sent via email.

Influence of interview on admissions decision? High.

When a school relies exclusively on a small group of trained admissions committee members to conduct interviews (as does MIT Sloan), the interview plays a significant role in the admissions process. During the interview process admissions committee members are looking for students who a) have ideas and b) are able to articulate them (a deceptively simple task).

MIT Sloan Behavioral Event-based Interviews BEI.

The MIT Sloan MBA Admissions Committee conducts Behavioral Event-Based Interviews. The concept behind Behavioral Event Interviews (BEI) is past behavior is a reliable indicator of future response in a similar situation. BEI is different from the traditional screening interviews:

• Instead of asking how you would behave in a particular situation, the interviewer will ask you how you did behave.
• Expect your interviewer to question and probe your answers.
• The interviewer will ask you to provide details and will not allow you to theorize or generalize about several events.
• The interview will be a structured process that will concentrate on areas that are important to the interviewer, rather than allowing you to concentrate on areas that you may feel are important.
• You may not get a chance to deliver any prepared stories.
• Most interviewers will be taking copious notes throughout the interview.

What the admissions committee is looking for

The interviewer will be looking for concrete and specific examples revealing one or several of the following traits during the interview:

• Influencing others: the ability to influence a person, group or organization.
• Relationship building: the ability to build and maintain professional relationships.
• Drive: the ability to set an objective and achieve it.

Preparing for BEI

• Recall a recent situation that showed favorable behaviors or actions, especially involving work experience, leadership, professional relationships, teamwork, planning, etc.
• Prepare short descriptions of each situation; be ready to give details when asked.
• Be sure the story has a beginning, a middle and an end.
• Be honest; don’t embellish or omit any part of the story.
• Be specific. Don’t generalize about several events; give a detailed accounting of one event. The interviewer will not give you the benefit of the doubt if there is something missing from your story.
