Hi everyone, does anyone have any experience interviewing in Mumbai, India? Any idea who to expect and sorts of questions asked?

Thanks!

Mumbai and Dubai are often one of these two HBS ladies.

HBS INTERVIEW DONE EARLIER ON MONDAY MARCH 15TH in MUMBAI --THIS GAL IS DOING MOST OF MUMBAI/dubia INTERVIEWS. [url]
https://www.linkedin.com/pub/pauline-jennett/7/427/201[/url]The interviewer took me into her office and briefed me - "The interview will last for 30 minutes and you would be offered decision on April 6th" - "I read your impressive application and want to know more from you"

In November of 2011, Sarah Lucas did the Dubai interviews.

abu dhabi!
Sarah Lucas

Questions were

1. tell me about the extra currics at college
2. Why IB
3. How did u get to dubai?
4. Anything surprising about being here.
5. what do u think the emiratis think of all of these westerners coming in?
6. Anything you might have done differently?
7. Talk about your business
8. Talked about hbs teaching methodology
9. Talked about hbs and then somehow got sidetracked onto talking about[ public tech figure ]
10. Talked about my favorite bldgs in boston

Interviewer was sarah lucas?

Very helpful - thanks Sandy!

Think the assumption is that invites will go out at noon Boston time like they did for R1 (?), i.e. in 40 min! Good luck.

I don't think it matters? ~90% of invites will go out today, so chances are, if you're going to get invited, it'll be today. But I may be wrong!

Any idea if we'd get an email informing us to check the website for our updated status OR the email will just inform us of our status?

Asking because of what Dee said regarding R1 notifications:

Quote:

Round 1 Notification
Date: December 12, 2011
It's a week away...so I thought some details might be in order.

This is our plan: On Monday, December 19 - hopefully at noon Boston time - all Round 1 interviewees will receive an email saying their decision is available online. We don't make any phone calls ahead of time...none. And that's a promise. Whatever the news is for you, we want to make sure you at least have control over the timing.

It's more like 75% from estimates I've seen, which makes it marginally better, but the point still stands. If I don't get invited today, I'll focus on my other interviews, and be pleasantly surprised if I hear anything in the next two weeks.

In the past, our interview slots have filled very quickly, so we encourage you to be prompt in selecting your slot.

Congrats to all who received the invitation. Guess HBS is very punctual with their sending of invites which means i'm almost out of the race. Best of luck to you guys! =)
