2012 MIT Sloan Leaders for Global Operations (LGO) Thread

My Interview Fest Experience:

The interview itself was conversation style. Very relaxed. I was first asked why I was interested in shifting my career towards operations/manufacturing. Then I was asked two behavioral questions which I had come across the many online resources. First one was "...attempted to persuade someone/group and failed?" and "...had a difficult conversation?". I also got the automatic questions of "which partner companies and why" "Any changes since application submitted" and "anything else I would like to add that I did not cover previously". overall I think I answered the questions well, but I dont think I blew it out of the park, and thus I think I am just in the middle of the pack.

One candidate mentioned that he learned from speaking with the students that 120 candidates and that 56 would be accepted. I have no idea how accurate that is, but I think it confirms what we expected, basically a 50/50 shot. I also found that all of the current students were very friendly and down to earth. They were also a very close group.

I wish everybody the best of luck and I cannot wait for decisions to come out.
