Sounds good. Good luck. Has he sent you a price quote/proposal?

If yes, that means you have a good chance with what you already have shown.

Yes - he sent me a quote with a proposal then followed up quickly with a pretty exhaustive list of questions to get the gears rolling to prepare.

I am hopeful I have a decent chance as well - just going to put in the hours and give it my best shot.

Just wanted to update this in case anyone comes in the future looking for a review. TL;DR, I am very pleased with the value of our session.

I was initially frustrated following the prep session. I wanted to do a full mock interview and then review that mock interview; however, Sandy thought that there was quite a bit of opportunity to improve my initial response to the very first question. For the next 20-30 minutes, we really dove in on this question and he asked me again and again. I was feeling pretty down tbh since I had come into our session feeling prepared. Sandy was encouraging though, stating that it is just important to get this right as it sets the tone - and direction - of the interview.

The rest of the session was great - we exhausted the hour pretty quickly but Sandy was nice enough to pretend not to notice. I believe our session was maybe 90-100 minutes long by the end.

Sandy was right to focus in on that first question - as that was my first question during my interview. Being able to explain what I do in a straight-forward manner to the interviewers really enabled me to feel confident on the next few questions and finish out the interview strong.


Good luck to ya if you are reading this post - I'm sure you will do great on whatever path to wherever you are headed!

Thank you so much for posting the feedback! I know it can be sensitive so appreciate it!
You just did 1 session? Is that how it works or you just did a-la-crate?

No problem - I think he does do interviews for some other schools a la carte but I just opted to prep for the HBS interview. I don't believe there were any package deals available. The HBS interview prep was a line item on his website, I believe $900 per prep session (debrief not included).

That said, he did give me probably ~100 interview debriefs via an email in addition to the prep session.

Wow. I can see it being steep but in the grand scheme of things, it is the price of a “cheap” summer Econ ticket to Europe pre-pandemic trip… which none of us took this year (or vice versa if you are in Europe)… it is the matter of the time horizon really.
