Hey,
I have my interview lined up on the 20th Nov. Any last minute tips/suggestions ?
It would be great if you guys could guide me a little on how to tackle the Case study/ Guesstimate questions ? Any material I should take reference from ?
I am also up for a practice mock interview, if anyone's interested in that.
I know all this is last minute but I guess better late than never
Thank you guys in advance.
Hi,
I just got admission confirmation yesterday.Had a long 1.5 hrs interview on 16th. I was taken out of ED wait list. So all the usual questions were asked and for the Case study, the question was regarding "What factors should an executive manager of a well known International Hotel chain consider while justifying expansion into LATAM countries, for instance say Venuzuela". I was given 5 minutes to jot down factors and then I attempted to explain them by relating to common consumer expectations/experiences I have heard of or had personally experienced. Relating or effectively transitioning from one factor to another when explaining them( was asked not to order them priority wise) can prove to be helpful. I thought the interviewer completely approved of this technique and enjoyed our conversation. In general it was a very pleasurable and casual style of conversation which is far far away from interrogative style of interviewing. Yes it was blind Interview. Make sure you emphasize on your commitment to join Notre Dame and make it heard.I almost explicitly mentioned the same thrice. Read up about the curriculum and justify how it is a great fit for you during interview. Good Luck to you,fellow aspirant.
On a separate note, if there is a separate forum/facebook page/ https://gmatclub.com/chat group for those of us who got admitted, I want in. Please add +918981961286 for https://gmatclub.com/chat or
Thanks for your response and congrats on the admission confirmation. They gave it to you right after your interview ?
1.5 hours ? That's really long. I heard the interviews usually last 40-45 mins.
Regarding the case study - Was this related to your industry or work experience ?
