Consultant Laura MacLean
Before my mock interview with Laura, I was frankly very overwhelmed with prepping for the HBS interview because of the sheer number of answers and stories I felt like I had to prepare. That's when I decided to do a mock with Laura. And let me tell you, that was the best decision I could have made, because Laura was AMAZING.
Prior to the mock, she read through my entire HBS application, and I could tell she did thorough research beforehand (just like your HBS interviewer would) from the thoughtful and pointed questions she asked me. She was warm, energetic, and thoughtful - throughout the interview, I felt like she was always on my side (which is what your actual interviewer will feel like as well - they want you to succeed, something Laura reinforced!).
The mock helped me so so much! Many of her questions were very similar to my actual HBS interview. Her feedback was also incredibly helpful - she told me exactly what was working really well and what I needed to reframe. She helped me tighten responses that were too long and encouraged me to emphasize the parts of my story that she felt would be more compelling.
I honestly don't think I would have done as well in my real interview without this preparation. Laura made me feel so much more confident going into my HBS interview that I actually wasn't nervous on the day of.
If you get an HBS interview invite, PLEASE do a mock with Laura!! I got into HBS, and Laura played a huge role in getting me there.
