Its blind interview. So you can probably use some of your essay questions

The interview is fairly straight forward - they want to understand your fit for the culture, your soft skills, motivation for the program and the school, do you understand your short/long term goals & past professional experiences. In my case, she was particularly interested in understanding 2-3 specific chunks out of my work ex, my extra curricular and my international exposure. I got my admit in December

For me, the interview with IESE was unexpected. Unlike other MBAs who asked about my achievements or academics, the IESE rep asked me many personal questions that showed my true color. It shows my strength, weakness, and life in general. Of course, they asked why I wanted to get an MBA, IESE, and my career goals. But so far, the interview with IESE’s Adcom has been very personal & nice. I didn’t think I would get accepted because the interview seemed so casual; even the AdCom asked why my GMAT score (especially the verbal score) wasn’t that good. My wife laughed at me because the interview was so unexpected & light!

I gave my interview in person and it was a great experience! For the interview know your entire application well - anything you’ve submitted is available to the interviewer so the questions can come from anywhere. Be relaxed and be yourself- they are interested in learning about you- show them you are an interesting person to speak to and you’ll be good!
