I have received an Interview invite and I am specifically looking at the ADB scholarship. I was wondering whether there is anything specific that I need to address during my interview to improve my chances for the scholarship or do I go about preparing for the Interview in a normal manner. Also I am an Indian engineer working in State Bank of India (Govt of India undertaking), so what kind of technical/theoretical questions can I expect besides the general ones such why MBA, why MBS, who are u etc?

I will have 3 yrs of work xp including 1 yr of managerial xp ( by august 2016) with a GPA of 2.5 but a good GMAT Score ( 710 ).
Would MBS be a long shot based on the schools high ranking?

It depends on what round you apply in, their scholarships (aside from merit based ones) are dependent on rounds. I was awarded the diversity excellence scholarship, but there was no separate application for it, they consider you automatically for all available scholarships.

Congrats on your admit and scholarship, Are you accepting the admission? Also I have submitted my app for Jan 15th Deadline. Any tips? :)
