PTK do you have an interview debrief for us to learn from?
OveragedAspirantBest advice: know you story well enough, the WHYs and HOWs and do your best.
I would say each interview is
subjective by nature. You either connect or not. Alumni either personally likes you or do not. This may significantly influence your evaluation. Ask youself whether you would like to provide a positive feedback if you did not connect and/or if you personally dont like the candidate/ dont see him/her as alumni?!
Alumni's
perception of who are you and of your potential performance during and after MBA are the things, which ultimately will influence the outcome of the game. Remember any communication is two-side process.
Me second interview (30 min) at INSEAD was my worst communication experience I ever had in my life. The interviewer was late for about 30 minutes, during the meeting took his lunch, made few calls, asked 2-3 questions why mba, why now, what's next (that lasted for 10 nmitues no more), then asked several personal questions and at the end of our meeting made some absurd and ridiculous unsupported conclusions about my personality and potential performance at school. For example one of which is questioning my analytical skills (my GMAT Q is 49). Why he is testing analytical skills by giving puzzles and spends on that time?
I do really regret that I did not complaint to Adcoms immidiately after the interview. Please dont repeat my mistake.
