Hi,

Has anybody got interview invite? If yes what has been the interview experience. Also can someone provide me a generic feedback about the school and career prospects post MBA from MBS?

I had an interview with Heather Spiro about a month ago, found out I was accepted about a week ago. The interview was about 45 minutes long, she mostly asked questions about "interesting points" of my application. Honestly, she was super friendly and put me at ease. I generally do not consider myself a good interviewer but this interview felt very relaxed and she was very personable. It was a great experience. Feel free to ask for more specific details if you have anything you are curious about!

Congratulations on the admit! I am just reviewing my essays and getting my documents together to submit my application.
Can you shed some light on the presentation that you submitted as part of the application. Struggling a bit on that front.

I just showed myself outside of my school/work experience. I had slides on things that I think show how I'm unique (i.e. volunteer experience, family life, other interests, etc.) I put 3-4 pictures and a few captions on each slide. I'm sure there are other (probably better) ways to do it, but I liked how it turned out.

Had an interview with Dr. Spiro yesterday in Singapore.
In all it was a very good interaction but a detailed one.

The questions based on our cv & slides and some std questions like why mba, why Alliance MBS & about our team management.

She's so friendly so just relax and speak clearly

Good luck for you all!

The interview went well, it took about 40 mins. Heather asked about your cv, essays, and presentation. I think you should prepare about your strengths and weaknesses. Most importantly, why mba and why manchester. Good luck Manish!
