Just got done with the interview. ~26 mins.. Was super chill. They introduced themselves and then asked to do the same. Why MBA? Why now? Why Owen? TMAT about leadership. How would you contribute to the classroom.? Any questions from you? (I asked 4). I think I botched the leadership question. I gave an irrelevant answer. Started in a way I shouldn't have and continued to blabber since there was no going back🥲 Other than that It was super well...🤞

Imperial’s interview this year is conducted on Shortlister It’s a quick-thinking, high-pressure format designed to test structure, clarity, and composure. If you receive the interview invite, it’s a strong signal that they already like your profile. Some Points I want to highlight Format Written Assignment You will get 10 minutes to write the answer. I got the Question "Describe the situation when you get very low marks than expected, how you react, and how you handle that situation." A well-structured written response is crucial. You must address all parts of the question clearly and avoid grammatical errors. Video Assignment Total Questions: 5 Format: Recorded video questions Preparation time: 5 seconds Response time: 1–2 minutes (only one take) Tip: They allow you to think for 5–10 seconds at the start of your recording. Better to pause briefly and structure than rush Questions I received 1. Introduce yourself + standout professional achievement + extracurriculars + why should they pick you over other candidates? I followed a clean structure: introduction → career so far → key professional win → major extracurricular experience → why I stand out 2. Why MIM at Imperial? Focused on Imperial’s technology + management blend, global exposure, and alignment with my career goals in product/UX and strategy 3. Describe a film without naming it. (Be ready for these kinda questions also) I used Friends , described it as a story of six people navigating their 20s, friendship, humor, life lessons, etc. Simple and relatable 4. Teamwork example – describe a situation where you had to present information to a team, your approach, and insights. Shared my experience from one of my experiences. Context: tackling a process issue linked to a 15cr loss Stakeholders involved My approach: using pictorial wireframes for clarity Iterations after feedback Outcome: team alignment + better decision-making This was my answer 5. What will you choose, Open AI or Google, and how do you think that organizations will change near future My Key Takeaways and Tips from my experience 1. Practice speaking for 1 minute on common questions 2. Use clean structures: STAR, Past–Present–Future, ABC (Answer–Because–Context). 3. Don’t panic during the 5-second preparation; they expect a short pause 4. The written question is as important as the video 5. Always follow STAR approach (giving context about the situation, what you did, and what the results were) prepare all the questions provided by Dexter43 (they really help!). Sharing the link of the same Interview Guide A to Z Many thanks !!

My interviewer was Brent Nagamine (Director of admissions). He already knew my essays, resume and entire application. So, most of the conversation was based on that. The interview was quite different than my other interviews tbh. First 10 minutes was about the origin story and how I got to where I am. Then, we began talking about the value of community and resilience and how I plan to use it in my career goals and in MBA, how I plan to use these values to handle ambiguity and how it has led me to solve problems better. This lasted another 15 minutes. The remaining discussion was on career goals. He already knew them but wanted more context on how the career goals (and the plan B) can get me to where I am. Finally, we concluded the discussion with why Foster and what offerings I am interested in. Last 5 minutes were for addressing my queries regarding the program. Overall, a great discussion. Wasn’t really talking about my stories, rather it was a deeper dive into values and personality.

Interview was quite quick and straightforward 1 - Walk me through your resume 2 - Short term long term goals 3 - Have applied to so many schools, why NTU 4 - Lot of applicants from India, what makes you unique. Total Duration - 20mins

Submitted by the deadline. 1. Walk me through your CV 2. Why MBA and why now 3. Why SMU 4. What post MBA career do you want to pursue 5. Alternative career 6.
