Anyone who has completed the video essays can you please share what they asked? I believe the first question is always Why MBA now?

I did it yesterday, it took me maybe 20 minutes. It’s very simple, they’ll show you 2 statements and you have to select which on fits you the most. Some might seem tricky as it’ll be 2 negatives but just select whatever you relate with more.

There’s not really a comparison between which is less negative. It’s about what behavior you associate with more. There’s no way to game the system in this.

Hey guys, just a quick note

Don’t keep postponing your video questions. They literally take 2-3 minutes, and the main thing schools are looking at is your English proficiency, not whether your answers are technically perfect or materially “right.” Interview invites have already started rolling out, so it’s better to get the video essays out of the way and put your focus on the bigger picture. You’ve got this!
