Nope, no 'weird' questions and it was quite conversational. Just relax and be yourself.

Can someone who has already been through this admission cycle's assessment day give insights on what other activities apart from the case discussion are part of the assessment day?

just received the assessment day email. good luck everyone! Prep your case, be ready to contribute. I think they are mostly caring about how you contribute to the class, push the conversation forward, and work with others in finding a solutions.

Just pay attention to the listed Barcelona local time and not the CEST. That confused me a bit for the morning session today but it turned out to be Barcelona time and not CEST.

For those stressing out about the Assessment Day - my impression from today’s participation was that it’s more for you to get to know the school (and for them to sell you the school/classroom experience) rather than for them to assess you. The reality is that it’s a very small window to assess 75 people, where only about half of people managed to speak due to time constraints.

Interviewed with AO, Very conversational

Introductions first, the interviewer has read the application completely and wanted to skip the basic questions

These are the questions I was asked:
1) describe yourself in 1 word
2) why moved from tech to consulting
3) why 2nd MBA?
4) why sustainability, how sure are you on the path?
5) what do you differentiate yourself from others who are on the same path?
6)what’s important, working in consulting or sustainability?
7) which locations?
8) why iese?
9) which other schools? And why them?
10) what is the status of other schools?
11) why these longterm goals? (I put Policy advisory)
12) describe a time when handled a difficult person
13) working in international environment
14) what do you bring to the iese"

Hi Guys,
I was planning to apply to IESE in R3. I've heard R3 can be a lot competitive especially for international candidates, as compared to R1 & R2. It would be a great help if anyone can share their thoughts and can comment on chances in R3.
