Hello everyone. The school took 4 weeks to process the application and revert with an interview call. Interview was with Ms Sophie Carey who is the Admissions Director (if i'm not wrong). It was over Skype and mostly a informal conversation. Questions: 1. Why MBA and why now? 2. Tell me about your work ex and your responsibilites? 3. How will an MBA help you and what are your goals? 4. Discussion regarding post MBA plans and how realistic they are. 5. How will you fund the MBA? 6. Any questions from your end. General advise: Be confident and be very clear about your future goals. Emphasize on your transferable skills and how the school can build business skills to achieve your goal. Decision was informed to me in 10 days over a call! All the best.
