Anyone interviewed by Panel 8 yet. My interview is scheduled for 25th. Requesting a kind soul to share some details here
Posted from my mobile deviceHi Nia92,
I had my interview with Panel 8 a few weeks back.
The panel had 4 people on it:
Alumni 1: Male, Co 2014, Tech, Product Startups
Alumni 2: Female, Co 2012, Finance
Alumni 3: Male, Co 2007/8, IT consulting, Tech
Adcom Member who logged on but didn't turn on the audio or video. Probably observing.
The interview was quite conversational, be thorough with your essays and work experience. Questions will be based on that. Prepare a 3-4 minute introduction for the "Tell me about yourself" question. This is a great opportunity to drop hints about where you want to lead the conversation. Maybe give some thought to standard questions like Why MBA, Why at this point of time, Why ISB, Why (whichever industry you have mentioned as a career goal). If you mentioned consulting as a career goal, you can prepare a little for case interview type guestimates. Didn't ask me, but no harm in preparing.
Keep calm, be confident, and just have a conversation. I had fun talking to them, and I think we can use this as a learning opportunity even if we don't make it in.
All the best
