After coming acorss your several and though meaningful posts, I read this interview prep post. I know this is written in ISB thread but still want a help if its not offending you further... kindly write these interview prep things as if applicable to every school.
The thread has dried out after the R1 admits
With the interviews starting for the R2, let me put some do's and the dont's for the interviews.
If you have any further queries. You can PM me... especially for the dont's
You should keep the following points while the ISB interview.
1. Be very thorough with your essays. Most of the questions are from them.
2. Be fully prepared about the work you do. What is the business aspect/impact.
3. Listen to them carefully before jumping in to answer the question.
4. Don't try to bluff to much. they will catch you
5. They are human beings
treat it as an interaction and not an interview. You will sail through
6. Prepare a question which you want to ask them and prepare a meaning full one.
7. If you say that you have been rated excellent or very good, then be ready to tell the percentage of people who are below you.
8. Do not be afraid if you do not know the meaning of the one word essay. You can very well google it.
9. If they ask you to talk about something, always talk about something which will bring something to the table and ISB and not some random things.
10. Be very clear about your short term goal and why you cannot reach there without and MBA or ISB.
Will try to put in some more points. Till then, the R1 admits or the R2 applicants can put in their views and revive this thread.
Gung ho!!!
