Thanks I am anxious to get an answer and start looking for scholarships.

I finished the application on April 18th almost one month after of the IEGAT. Then I received an email telling me that my score was among the top third globally, does not seem really good to me but either way I got an interview call.

About the interview, I felt really comfortable, the interviewer was really friendly but ask me a lot of questions, some were from my professional career and others google interview type questions.

They told me that in 1 to 3 weeks I would get an answer, so now we play the waiting game.

I got admitted! Now applying for scholarships. The interview was really intense but enjoyable. The questions I can remember:
- Tell me about your academic and professional background
- Why an MBA now?
- What are your weakeness?
- What will you do if you are not admitted?
- Make an advertisement for IE mba
- Sell me an invisible pen
- What do you think are the challenges you will face if you are admitted?

I prepared a lot for this interview, my advise is to be calm and to rehersal, I recorded myself speaking.

Best luck to all applying!

Hello Guys,

I was lucky to be accepted into the program. I would like to share my interview experience. It was 50 minutes in Madrid.

- Tell me about your academic and professional background, in general.
- Why an MBA and why now?
- Your immediate goals after the program and the long term ones?
- If you are to choose 10 people to live with you in an isolated island, what professions would you pick?
- what is inflation?
- who is adam smith?
- what is the GDP of your country?
- what is 12*12-10?
- who is the president of China?
- What languages do you speak?
- what is 279/6?
- If you have the chance to meet famous person, dead or alive, who would be that person? and why?
- How will you be financing your study?

I was just myself and straightforward. It turned to be good interview, and have received the offer on Monday.
