Any Sloanies or Sloan Admit’s in this bowl who wouldn’t mind sharing some tips for the interview? Wondering how technical it may get or what general vibe/questions asked are. Thanks so much!

I will say though I didn’t think mine was super friendly... I also didn’t pass the interviews maybe that’s why lol

Mine was super casual. We chatted about corona, the short answer essays, and my job. Very few typical “interview” questions (e.g., “tell me about a time when you showed leadership”). They did ask the classic why MBA/why now/why Sloan.

I’d say mine was very similar to SA1, it’s very much like a HBS interview without much probing to the next level but the interviewer comes in prepared with what they want to ask

Yeah mine was almost entirely about a nonprofit I started in college and how it connected to my recent work in philanthropy and my future goals - super conversational and friendly

Mine was focused more on behavioral questions, nothing on my additional essays or anything technical. Got in, happy to answer any other questions :)

The MD I spoke to named a few other people he was going to have reach out, but haven’t heard from either of them. Just doesn’t feel like a normal process
