"Interviewed with the head of adcom via Zoom (he was 12 minutes late I thought I was confused by the time zone and almost had a heart attack) -Why MBA Why now and why Imperial? (didn't ask me to "tell me about yourself" at all) -team work questions, what you like the most about team work and what are the challenges and how you address conflict -moment you demonstrated leadership -navigating challenges -failure -on a scale of 1-10 how achievable are your goals -things you will do now and during the program -the challenge the industry is facing -the best recent invention within your industry -how do you keep up with the general business -questions for him There were more questions but these are the highlights and the ones that I remember the most. He asked a lot more and some of the questions were flowing from the conversation but some clearly were pre-written and he needed to ask all of them. The interview was somewhat conversational and he was pretty easy to talk to. Scheduled for 30 but went on for 45."

"The interviewer was very nice and made you comfortable. She introduced herself first and then started asking questions. The questions mentioned below are paraphrased based on what I remember.

What steps would you take to fill that gap? X is a very competitive domain with many eligible candidates applying for a job. What sets you apart? What would be the biggest challenge for you during the program? What has been the most rewarding experience in your current job? If your supervisor left suddenly, what strategic changes would you make? What kind of leader are you? Tell me about a time where you had to solve a conflict within your team.
