My interview was exactly 30 minutes, I had questions prepared and was able to ask 2 questions at the end of the call before my time was up.
My interview felt like it went well, it was generally conversations with a good mix of specific questions about my background, standard behavioral questions, and why MBA/why Sloan. They asked some follow up questions but it didn’t feel too probing.

My interview lasted 35 minutes, and was conversational. Did not feel different from my experience interviewing with Kellogg (adcom) and Booth (2y).
It was very straight to the point, classic behavioral questions and almost half of it was: walk me through your resume + why mba? goals? why Sloan?.
The interviews are short, and I can guarantee that they will ask those questions, so dedicate time to have the answers well prepared and you'll have half of the interview already.
I left the zoom very satisfied in the sense that everything was under control, I answered everything, and it felt like a great interview. I had that same feeling after Booth (admitted) and Kellogg.
I do have to say that I prepared A LOT.

Hello, I had my interview yesterday and felt like reporting to admission for the disengagement of the alumni.
1) He was the late about 7 min to the interview. He picked the time and had no heads up for his late appearance.
2) Our conversation revolved around “Why HEC” because he didn’t see any connection between HEC, Paris itself, and the healthcare industry. Although I gave him my answers like there are medicine headquarters and active student clubs and some aluminum are indeed working in the industry. He didn’t buy it somehow and kept challenging.
Even I said I could go back to retail industry if this path doesn’t work, he still pushing me on like “What retail companies?”
Additionally, he didn’t even bother to introduce himself or ask for mine. So I feel like he’s trying to withdraw from the interview as soon as he could instead of really understanding each other.
Nothing like this happened before, making the worst interview experience so far. I would like to hear your thoughts on my next actions. Thank you.

I had mine last Tuesday and it was very a standard behavioral interview. I got the following questions:
- A few questions related to my current job
- Why do you need an MBA
- What excited you about joining MIT Sloan
- Tell me about a time you had to work with a difficult colleague
- Tell me about your proudest accomplishment
- Any question for me (I had time to ask 3 Qs before we concluded)
- We didn't touch on the data visualization, but I know people this year whose interview spent 10 minutes on it
Hope this helps

Wish I had this info before my interview so trying to pay it forward. Don’t remember everything but it was 35ish min including time for me to ask Qs
Any updates since you applied?
Clarifying Qs - on something mentioned in my essay, on what my job is, how my day to day is structured
5-6 Behavioural questions - tell me about times when you had to delegate, challenges you’ve faced in professional career, times when you had to motivate yourself, etc. Each answer had follow up Qs
Basic Qs- Why MBA, why Sloan, how will you contribute
I remember every single response had a follow up and the interviewer really tried to dive deeper into how I was feeling at certain moments. They also seemed well read on my application and genuinely seemed interested in understanding my work and industry. But also, definitely felt like an interview unlike CBS and Booth which were chiller
All the best!

The interview went well and it was pretty classic. Didn’t really prepare that much because I got another offer.
It was 100% behavioral, and the interviewer asked questions like: tell me about a time when you led a team, you solved a conflict, you received a negative feedback etc.
She asked 7 questions like that, I asked 2 questions about the school and it ended.

I had a positive experience overall. The interview began right away, with very little introduction or chit chat.
They did not ask me about my data visualization at all, which was kind of surprising. They dove right into a mix of behavioral and TMAT questions.
They moved quickly between questions with very little reaction to my responses. I kept my answers brief and specific, focusing on the action I took and the result.
What’s changed since you applied? (I talked about how I joined an alumni panel webinar.)
What will be your impact on the program?
TMAT Biggest challenge
TMAT Led without authority / persuaded others
TMAT Dealt with a difficult team member
How would others describe your leadership strengths and weaknesses?
TMAT Led a group to a solution
What’s a personal or professional goal you set, and how did you achieve it?
Why MBA? Why Sloan?
What are your short term and long term goals?
Anything you want to add that you haven’t said?
That took about 15 minutes, and then the last 15 minutes I asked about 4 questions. It was 30 minutes total.

Guys, I had a horrible interview experience. My interviewer was an Indian+very senior alumni (grad of 2007). I knew the moment I got his profile that this could be the most difficult interview I will ever have.
He rescheduled the interview 3 times and finalised the time only 3 hours before the interview. I’m not sure what adcom will make of this. Anyways, interview started, and this guy seemed pissed off about everything. He kept challenging almost every sentence I said. He started by saying why I don’t want to be in sustainability (dude I spent 7 years in sustainability only to be told this). Next he said why coming back to India to start my own firm is a bad bad idea. Next he kept complaining about how Adanis are looting the country and how Modi is favoring only the big business leaving others to starve (this guy was running his own firm). He had a horrible connection and we shifted platform from teams to gmeet to WhatsApp eventually. He ended by suggesting me to explore technical courses instead and didn’t even allow me to counter.
Sorry for the long rant. I had so much expectations from this interview, Fuqua is my top choice school and it is pretty much all I have in R2. Should I reach out to adcom trying to explain my situation? Please suggest something.
