Got done with the Interview with Nicole sometime back. She's extremely friendly and makes you feel at ease during the interview. The questions were pretty much what others in the group have posted earlier. I have mentioned the same below.

1. Walk me through your Resume
2. Questions pertaining to undergrad and postgrad education
3. Why MBA now?
4. Short term and Long term goals post MBA
5. International exposure and where you plan to work geographically post MBA
6. Questions pertaining to experience in an MNC and family business
7. Why Simon
8. Any questions for me

Best of luck to everyone who is interviewing or awaiting results!

Interview done. R3 Applicant- International
Interview experience- Pretty unconventional. Rather than usual MBA questions, it was more conversational. 30 mins straight and was a really nice experience. Very open-ended as well.
I would say, do your research on the school diligently, it really helps.
All the best.

Congrats! Have you received any scholarship?

Others as well who got an ultra quick response after interview - did you receive scholarships?

I interviewed on 1st Feb and haven't heard from them since so I'm wondering if it's a scholarship thing

Just finished my interview with Nicole a few minutes ago. Blind interview with same questions people have posted earlier (with some extra questions specific to my profile). Over in 35 minutes. She's super cool so just relax, know your application, know the program and you'll do fine.

Hello everyone, new here.

I applied to Simon on 5th Jan, but my LOR was submitted on 11th. Would I be considered for the 3rd or the 4th round? I'm concerned as I haven't got an interview invite yet.
