I just finished my interview. It hardly lasted for 15 minutes. Did even ask why MBA, short term long term goals. They only asked why you want to chose these subjects and some follow up questions where I fumbled in one. Apart from that why ISB, I gave personal reasons why I am migrating back to India and didn't let me finish why I am picking ISB. I don't know what to make of this interview, one of them looked clearly impatient interrupting before I finish talking about a question even for 30 seconds. Such a weird interview this was, only thing that is keeping me hopeful is I am a diverse applicant compared to most others.

Just got done with my interview. One of the panelist was an ex product manager because of which he grilled me alot on my choice of pursuing PM role post ISB. Also he threw some difficult hypothetical organisational questions that I haven’t seen any of the debriefs. A general advise for all those targeting PM role have a huge huge clarity on it especially if previously you have nil experience in this field.

The interview went on for like 40 mins and I can definetly say one thing it isn’t the same as the US B school’s interviews.

Fingers crossed for 10/03.

Must be disappointing, best of luck for the results though!

I felt the same. It was very different from the interview’s conducted by US B-Schools

:) Maybe your diversity has already ensured that you get an admit so they didn’t waste any time in the interview

Fun to think about it right. I don't believe so, we will see. If I did't trip over one question,I would have been far more confident, but the way they conducted interview was very surprising. What you did in your previous job is useless as most use MBA to pivot their career. When I had interview at UVA, the only thing adcom was concerned about is whether I am coachable or not. Here they nitpick our previous experience which is quite useless in grand scheme of things.

Something similar happened to me. Interviewer asked questions around designing something, like a Product Manager interview.

Even if you wish to transition to a different field, what you did in your previous role is important because it helps them understand why you want to make that transition and/or leave that particular role and sector. It’s not a useless question by any means

I also want to transition so i can understand your pov but i also understand why they do this

My interview lasted for like 20 mins, where they have asked questions around essays only. They were more concerned about why MBA , no question from any of my job experience 🙃

ISB panelists are very through in general, is what my takeaway has been. Even in my interview they asked me in detail about my experiences. I don’t think any other interviewer panel in my experience comes close to ISB’s in this tegard

Yeah the why MBA question is pretty common. “Why not try for xyz thing without an MBA since there are scores of people who have done just that successfully “

Your answers were probably so convincing they didn’t feel to ask you about your previous experiences 😂

hello. it is difficult to predict how the selection process happens. I too messed up my interview in SP JAIN Mumbai in 2k19 and I was certain that I will not get through. However, I was INDEED accepted. Nevertheless, I was bound to not take the admission due to rise in Covid cases. Moral - If it is meant to be, you shall get it. Stay positive. best wishes.
