Hey I'm scheduling mine in Bangalore.

Awesome. I've booked the 2PM slot. Will use time I get before the Alumni Reception to chat with other applicants. What slot did you book?

It's really just about why you want to go to Simon (or whatever business school). The best way to know why other than "I wanna make more money later" (lol it's not a lie) is to contact students and alumni and ask them questions about the program. I've found that even when I don't really think much of a school, speaking with a student changes my mind drastically.

Let me know if you need some questions to ask the students.

I interviewed with a recent alumni. It was very conversational and I thought it went well. I was asked very generic questions like why simon, why mba, what my career goals are as well as questions related to my background. I don't think I can add anything new to the existing debriefs out here. Hope this was helpful.

Thanks! Any advice that you would like to share with us before we go for the interview?
