Show more
I did my video essay a few days back.
We are provided with 3 chances to record. If you decide to record after an attempt, then only the latest attempt will be considered and the previous will be deleted.
I took 2 attempts and the two questions I got were:

1. If you could change anything about the past 2 years of your life, what would it be and why?
2. What is the most useful invention in your lifetime and why?

Focus on being fluent and speaking confidently. Content matters 0%. You are only being tested on being adaptive and thinking on the spot.

As per the mail sent by them, we need to schedule ourselves within November so as not to delay the process. If we do not, they will release invites in december and consider a later round processing

that’s what I understood from the mail :(

I had my interview a week ago. It was conversational and the questions were very generic, the kind that you see very often. Why MBA? Why Vanderbilt? Challenges, conflict etc
