Calling All IESE MBA Applicants: 2025 intake Class of 2027

Hi Blair15! So, IESE interviews are typically conducted by adcom members or alumni and focus on behavioral and motivational questions, assessing candidates' backgrounds, career goals, and fit with IESE. Depending on the interviewer, either an alumnus or admcom, the experience may vary, with alumni providing a peer perspective and adcom following a more standardized evaluation. To prepare effectively, candidates should familiarize themselves with IESE’s values and be ready to showcase your leadership experiences and problem-solving skills. While the experience may differ for each applicant, you can get an idea from this on what to expect in the interview process. Sharing the experience of one of our applicants, from R2 interview!

The applicant liked the overall experience. Interviewed with the MBA Admissions Director, she was super friendly and it was very conversational. She asked the standard TMAY, Goals, Why MBA now, Why IESE questions at the beginning then when they started to really get into the behavioral questions they established a lot of common ground and time went by really fast. The interview time was 1 hr and the last 10mins was questions from the applicant.

Good luck everyone!
