*Noodles interview write up for MIT Sloan*
As interview prep I read through my application and thought of any further questions Sloan could ask. I came up with 8-9 stories for the behavioural questions. Using https://www.clearadmit.com/wiki/index.php?title=SloanInterview as my main guide for questions. I rehearsed these and came up with 6 questions to ask adcom if I had the chance. I had the flu at the time of the interview but battled on regardless :D
Right......my interview was in London, UK and was with one member of the Adcom, Mr Rod Garcia himself.
I told Rod I had the flu straight off and he got me some water......and we had some small talk to settle in with. I am not sure how in depth Rod knew my application in terms of the answers to my essay questions but he knew 3 things......(i) I went to Cambridge (ii) I worked for a big investment bank and got promoted and (iii) I knew a current student at Sloan.
We first talked about my experiences at Cambridge - and I told him about my 2 friends who went to MIT for their undergraduate. I then worked in "Why Sloan" here.
We then talked about my experiences at the bank I work for......and how I see the future. Specifically recruitment picking up. I told him about my background and tried to work in "Why MBA" here. He asked me when I got promoted and followed this up with what my future plans were after the MBA.
We also briefly talked about my high school and I told him about my academic scholarship and the wonderful opportunities at my school to travel to other countries.
We also talked about my friend at Sloan (who he knew) and I explained how my friend had told me all these great things about Sloan and how I also went to the information session in London. So this really was more "Why Sloan" here.
In terms of behavioural questions I was asked (i) A time I stepped outside of my comfort zone at work and (ii) A time I had an idea challenged at work. These went fine. I asked 3-4 questions and this took a bit of time.
All in all it lasted 45-50 minutes and was very relaxed and conversational. I have no idea how I did.....I felt I could have done better and perhaps been more specific about Why MBA but all in all was okay.
