Thanks! Do you have any resources you recommend? Maybe the Harbus guide? I am thinking 1-2 hours a day for 2 weeks. Do you think this is enough?

Hey!

I really don't think there is a set number of hours. Basically whatever you feeel comfortable would be fine.
I watched some interview prep links on YouTube and one feedback that caught my attention is to not sound too scripted.

Of course! I'll recommend you not to spend more than 2 hours a day preparing for interviews. Don't wear yourself out!
I actually used Harbus. It is a really good resource which helped me a lot.

Though I didn't apply for HBS, for the school I did apply to I did a couple of mock interviews and that was about it but I knew my story inside and out and the prep from the essay/application stage really helped - you also don't want to seem "too" prepared in your answers. There's value in having a conversation with the interviewer
