On my friend's recommendation (who received an admit from ISB), I too approached Gyanone for MBA application and interview preparation.

Right from the consultation regarding schools to interview preparation, Gyanone team provided me an honest feedback.

Gyanone provided personalized attention, with several rounds of review on each and every aspect of the MBA application.

Needless to say all the efforts paid off, I received admission offer from CUHK with a scholarship.

I would like to give my sincere thanks to Gyanone for their advice and support throughout my application process.

I will definitely recommend their services to candidates who are planning to apply for MBA program.

Hi Pranab,

I was interviewed on the 13th, awaiting final decision now. The discussion usually goes on for at least an hour, but mine was the last of the day, and one of the panellists had to catch a flight, so my interview took place for only 40 mins.

Still, a lot of questions were asked. Why MBA? Why CUHK? Why now? 
Some of the questions were specific to my professional career: Why so many job changes? Kind of roles that I have taken? Methodologies followed while working? etc.

Some questions were regarding my personal life: Discussion on why I am currently a stay at home dad? How will I finance my MBA? How have I planned for the time when I would be away from my family? etc.

Overall, be prepared for a discussion rather than an interview lasting an hour. Be thoroughly aware of what you have written in your application and your future aspirations. The panel gives you the opportunity to express yourself and drive the interview by way of your answers.

Hope this helps.

BR,
Rahul
