Interviewed in RD2 -on campus, got the invite to the exclusive masterclass on the 25th but no placeholder for the Admit dinner although the initial email from my regional manager mentioned the date in her email. Somehow, I don't think either of these mean anything until the final decision is out.
While I am here, here's the round up from the interview, lasted around 3 hours:
- Why LBS
- Why MBA
- What I love about London
- What I love about my job
- How do I manage stress
- How do I select my teams? How do I convince someone to be part of my team
- What's my leadership style
- Has anyone ever let me down? What's my biggest accomplishment? Have I ever failed anyone?
- Industry trends in my profession, what are the biggest opportunities/ threats for my firm
- My post MBA plans include starting my own business so we discussed my vision for the business, the scaleability of the proposition
- What will I bring to the LBS community
- How did I go about choosing the programs I applied to
Presentation was brief and the topic was pre-selected. I didn't know much about the topic but tried to follow a structure, the interviewer didn't ask any follow on questions.
We ended the interview with talking about the interviewer's background and some questions I had. I think I might have rambled a bit for some answers but the ones where I was concise, there were follow on questions.
Hope this helps anyone who is still waiting to be interviewed.
