My interview was with Katie on 4th December in Mumbai.

The interview started with a case study (as they call it). But it was more of a reading comprehension than a case study. It was some article from economic times which discussed about strategy and audits with 5 questions in the end.. Too difficult for me... One of the questions was to write a letter summarizing the article.

The above exercise went on for an hour. After that, Katie asked me to answer each question from the case. (It was not a written exercise).

After answering each question, the formal interview started. Notable thing about ESADE interview is that they want to know everything about you.... Katie was extremely cool and humble... she asked me everything about my work, my background, my hobbies, everything. Some work related questions were, What is the most constructive feedback you have received, What is your learning from your experience, strengths, weakness, biggest contribution, etc. It continued for one hour. SO one should be prepared to answer questions from every possible topic. Questions were only focused on me as a person and as a professional. My suggestion to everyone is to go there with a cool mind.. You are going to be interviewed by a person who genuinely wants to know you and wont grill you at all.

ATB.

Hi
I am an Indian candidate( will complete 2 yrs work ex come this July) and had started the ESADE application but looking at the living expenses and the avg work-ex decided to discontinue.
I received a mail from katie.carr saying that she would be interested in my profile and I should complete my application.
The first thing I'd want to know if that is a generalized mail or she has actually reviewed parts of it.
Secondly if no scholarship is awarded then what would be the escalated cost of living+tuition+any other expenses.. the ballpark at least (admitted candidates please help me out on this one)
I am really confused .. so please suggest if I should go for it or not.
Thank you

Hi, Daksha.

Without scholarships you should be looking at expenses between INR 68-80 lakhs.

I also submitted my application after postponing for a very long time. One question I have here is do we have to submit the scholarship form for getting one or is it the adcom decision based on your profile and if we all have to submit the form, when do we have to do that ? Please someone who has submitted the form can throw some light on this.

Okay, so a round of interviews has started in India as some of you may know. Katie is conducting them in Delhi at the moment, and I had mine yesterday. I was a little bit worried about the case study, but I needn't have been. If you were good at GMAT Comprehension, then this should be easy! You just have to summarise the article they give you and answer a few questions in presentation format. I had my notes in bullet points and expounded from there.
The rest of the interview is simply a chance to sell yourself. There are probing questions, but only to get to know you better. There isn't any stress or putting you under pressure. Just make sure you can answer all the standard MBA interview questions in depth. She is very friendly throughout and it is almost semi formal - some parts of the interview may become like a discussion or even a chat. I think you have to work hard to sell yourself in such a situation, yet maintain a balance, and not overdo it. I came away with a positive feeling, but it is difficult to assess your chances after such an interview as she probably would not show it if you did badly. I know it is a cliché, but you really need to be yourself in this interview as they are trying to genuinely determine if you would be a good fit for the school, which would be mutually beneficial.

Traveled from Caracas, Venezuela and took the ESADE Admissions Test two weeks ago (think paper, non-adaptive GMAT) in Bogotá, Colombia. I had my interview with the Admissions director from Colombia, Mr. Emilio del Castillo. The interview went great, focusing on the general questions one can be expected to be asked, but also a few very interesting ones aimed at making you think right on the spot.

I'm very grateful towards the staff for such a pleasant experience. Since then, I've contacted Mr. Del Castillo and Mr. Aleix Pratdepadua who's also in charge of LATAM admissions. I just received a quick update from Mr. del Castillo, who administered the TAE and also interviewed me on Feb. 15. My TAE score has been qualified as SATISFACTORY, which is basically the mark of approval for the test. I was very glad to get these news and, given that I've already been successfully interviewed, I'm now anxiously awaiting the final decision.

Best regards!
