I signed up for the Nov 12th virtual meetup. Can you give us a quick summary know what you learned from the virtual meetup for interviewees?

it was like any other coffee chat with current student type of events that you’d have attended earlier. People asked from course curriculum to housing to interview perspectives.

The virtual meetup yesterday has more than 30 interviewees and 2 current students. So the number is adding up to >50 invitees for R1.

I spoke to a consultant a few months back and he told me that the students he worked with and got in(SFMBA) had two things in common :

Super good acads
And GMAT score of 740 or plus

He also mentioned that there are three broad parameters and a successful candidate must excel in 2 if those

1. Acads including the exam score
2. Work exp
3. Impact on society

Also since SFMBA makes the score optional - his response was sure, and these exceptions apply to exceptional of the exceptional folks - scientists who discovered something/have patents, athletes national/international, people who are really outliers.

Hi could you please share the details of the consultant you spoke. I have been looking for one. It would be a great help . Thank you

Finally have time to pay it forward. Interviewed on 11/13.

My prep was based on scouring past debriefs on gmatclub and web search.

After receiving my interview invite, I reached out to an alumnus (class of 2025) from my hometown and had a good coffee chat about the program and life post-graduation.

Like any other interviews, prepare a strong 3 Whys (Why MBA, Why School X, Why Now).

First 5-10 minutes are questions on data visualization. Current student on virtual meetup mentioned it was 20 minutes. Mine was a work example and pretty clear cut, maybe that's why it's much shorter.

The rest are typical behavioral questions, I grouped my stories into themes so to not repeat examples, also not having to remember all different types of prompts. Think strength/weakness/TMAT when... type of questions. Sloan Fellow candidates should have many years of experience, so don't be afraid to go back to your first and second job (I did use a story from 10 years ago).

Last but not least, the current student mentioned you're basically 80% there once you got the interview invite. My insight from alumnus is similar, the interview is to corroborate the person to the application, and to ensure you're a good classmate to the cohort.

Good luck everyone!

Had my interview today on similar lines as Alex.
We jumped directly to data visualisation and spent 5-10 minutes on it.
Rest were all behavioural questions and finished with 2-3 minutes to spare and I was given time to ask a couple of questions. We wrapped up in about 35 minutes.
Jumping straight to behavioural questions and their flow seemed like the interviewer wanted to verify exact qualities they were looking for and it seemed my interviewer was well versed with my application, essays and the submitted videos.
Now the long wait till 12 Dec. 🤞🏻

Hi everyone, I received my acceptance call about an hour ago. They told me that the official confirmation will arrive by email after 3:00 pm EST, so don’t panic, calls are still coming in! (10 years of work experience, EA 158, corporate finance, energy sector)
