Congratulations on the interview invite!

They usually say within the same week of receiving the interview invite, however going by the current trend with slightly late responses, can’t say for sure about the timeline!

Someone out here got the only available interview slot 2 weeks from the intimation. Either way, seems like you’d have plenty of time to prep for the interview ( I had a definitive week to prep for mine)

WRT the interview, questions vary for each person but the general direction is usually - why mba, why Ivey, post mba goals, experiences about leadership at work or in personal life, conflicts and how you resolved them. Although do remember that it could be something completely off the radar as well (an example would be - I was asked where do I consume my news from and what podcasts do I listen to - totally wasn’t expecting that)

Just remember, the interviewer will ask you questions basis your profile and would be weaving the questions into the conversation.

Treat it as a conversation with someone at work you’re meeting for the first time and will be working with on future projects, and you’ve to let them know YOU in a professional capacity.

Be yourself and put your most authentic self forward.

Hope it helps!

Cheers

Hi Everyone,

I finally received the Email about the school inviting me for an interview (A little relieved now)
How soon after that can we expect to receive the link to book our interview time slots?

I have gone through the interview debriefs and their soundcloud podcast. Any other recommendation?
From whatever I have read, interview is one of the most important aspect of their process and it can be a make or a break for a lot of candidates.

They just want to know you better - career & personality. Go in with a few examples that you can quote and you should be good (you only have 1 mins per question)

here is a link of some standard questions - https://www.mim-essay.com/kira-talent-v ... questions/

I received around 3 days later. Apparently it has been so for many people, so you can expect something similar.

Hi Stuti,

Congratulations!

Wait for a couple of days (hopefully within this week or sometime early next week), you will receive an email from the team regarding slot booking with the career management team for interview.

Good luck!

Cheers

Thank you so much Prikh!

Although I'm not counting on it so much, I will do my best prep and leave the rest upto god.
As my GPA is not good and I had appeared for GMAT with a score of 580, I decided to shift to GRE as I found the Quant a little easier.. Hence I don't have a very strong profile from the GPA or the standard score side :/

Don’t worry too much about it! If they’ve called you for the interview, then rest assured that the GPA etc wasn’t a huge concern. Just prep your best for the interview!

As mentioned by a few folks here, and reiterating the same, Ivey doesn’t look at just one aspect of your profile. They’re looking at the whole picture.

Hi such8

I am assuming the question here was if there is a deadline, by when you have to book an interview after receiving the links for slots.
The answer to that is there is no timeline. I did not receive any deadline by which I had to book.
However, a) that was an early round, and I am assuming they might be able to give candidates more flexibility then vs now when it's a closing round for internationals - so please check your mail for any deadline, and b) the mail said its on a 'first come, first served' way of booking - which means that most of the slots get booked the longer you wait, giving you fewer options.

All the best!

Hey everyone,

Finally after a long wait, I got an offer from Ivey today with some scholarship. I was interviewed on 26th June. Admissions committee did not meet with vacation schedules, hence, the delay in making decision.

Thanks everyone for all your contributions on this group as it played a big role in my application success. And, best wishes to those who are still in the process.
