Hello!

I have been admitted into the program and have finalized my acceptance. I would like to connect with others who have been admitted into MBS for the 2021 intake as well. For other applicants, I am happy to help with any questions you may have- although the admissions process is clear and outlined in other threads in this forum.
As an intro - I am 34/F from India, with almost 10 years of work experience in the Chemical Industry.

Hello Anitajpamu

Congratulations on your admit. Can you please post your experience of interview?

I have also applied to MBS & have been asked for a video presentation. Did you also submit the same?

Hello Himanshu

Yes, I was asked to submit a video presentation as well- I think almost everyone gets a request for the video. Stick to the guidelines they've provided- keep it light and interesting and showcase something that hasn't been covered in your application or maybe not in as much detail as you would have liked to.

In terms of the remaining interview experience (I think there is a debrief somewhere else on this forum and my experience was similar)- I submitted the application at the end of November and received the request for the video almost immediately. I submitted the video by the first week of November and post that received confirmation for the first interview with the admissions manager- right before Christmas. The interview was straightforward- going over the resume, experience, background- testing for leadership experience, international exposure- long term and short term goals, program fit, the why MBA question, etc. It lasted about 40-45 minutes and was quite conversational. Post this, I heard back from the admissions team only Jan 2nd week, due to vacations, etc, and the second interview was scheduled for about 8 days later. For this one, you are emailed a case study in advance. Instructions are provided in the email- they do not want you to prepare any material to present. The expectation is for you to get familiar with the case and be prepared to answer questions regarding what you have read/researched. The second interview is with someone from Career Development. The interview lasted about 45 minutes again. We spent the first half going over my background, career goals and the second half discussed the case- which was honestly, straightforward. Again, the interaction and experience was positive. I received confirmation of the selection in less than a week after the interview.

Overall the process was smooth and the team was professional, very responsive, and friendly. I hope this helps!

Thanks for the details. I need to submit my video presentation by next week. Some applicants had uploaded the videos on youtube, so I watched them as well. I found them to be quite normal.

Got the admit and accepted the offer. Lets connect?
