Hi guys,

I am planning to apply for the Queen's MBA program. Wanted to know what kind of questions are usually asked in the Video essay part.

Best,
Garvit

wajeed · Answer

Hey Garvit,
The video questions are generally around your personality. These are just used to gauge the ability of the candidate to think on his/her feet. The questions could vary from the choice of your favorite destination to your leadership experiences. Just don't worry too much about them..you will be able to handle it

. If you need further info regarding the same, I suggest you visit the previous year's thread.

Hi guys,
I've been invited for the personal interview as well. Is it alternative for the Skype interview? Or is it just an informal interaction round?

Thanks

wajeed · Answer

Hey!!!!
Congratulations on the interview!!!! And yes it is an alternative to the Skype interview. As for the information I received from the adcom, Queen's has changed the selection process this year. All the interviews would be conducted in person*.

PS: *Applies to candidates applying from India.

Cheers
Wajeed

Is there anyone else who is invited for interview in Delhi on 25th May?

Hey,

I wanted to know, how long did it take after the submission of your application for you guys to get an invite for the in-person interview? Secondly, have all you guys sent your official score and original transcripts to Queens?

To all the interviewees from India.. has anyone heard on the decision yet?

prtkbnsl · Answer

Hey Shiwani, The applications are considered on a rolling basis and are opened as soon as you submit. There are just an early and a late round. However, you can apply whenever you are ready. You can try your luck. You have a good GMAT score. I cannot comment on your experience though. I think there's a minimum requirement for that. For scholarships, it all depends on the strength of your application and is weighted against dollar value. But that's after you clear all the rounds. You can fill the preliminary entry form on the Queen's website for MBA and you will get a revert whether you can apply for the 2019 intake. Here's a link. Good luck! https://smith.queensu.ca/mba_programs/m ... cation.php
