MBA Interview Prep Course

for Philadelphia Consulting Students ONLY

Welcome! I'm so happy you're here and I'll tell you why in this video. Although this is your first class, I've designed it in a way where you could watch in all in order or select any of the classes you wish.

Come take a ride with me on my way to work as I explain to you what you can expect from your interview. This class will cover the different types of interviews, the reasons why b-schools conduct them, and some applicable tips to stand out!

After a few minutes of small talk, most schools will want to know about your professional development. How should you answer this? What should you say? Most importantly, what are they looking for? I answer all these questions and more in this video.

Where are you going? Who will you become? And why is this important? Why do b-schools need to know your short-, mid-, and long-term goals? This is an important question for all schools and I tell you why here.

Specific! Be specific! Oh, but what do I need to say in this question? If you go the generic route, trust me, you'll sound just like all the other candidates out there.

This is probably the most important question of your entire interview!! Seriously! So many have slipped up here and lost their chances of entering their dream school. Don't make that mistake!

Let me ask you this: in your opinion, which is stronger?

Your strengths? Or your weaknesses?

The answer is in this video.

The anatomy of a well delivered experience story.. yes, there is a structure. And no, it's not what you think. There is ONE component that is the most important.

Apart from the core questions, or questions that almost all schools will ask you, there are those follow-up questions. And some can be tricky. Here's how to expect them and prepare for them.

What kind of a leader are you? What kind of a leader would you like to be? What are 2 traits that make a strong leader? Leadership is a key element in all b-schools, so, naturally, they'll want your take on this.

Disclaimer: the formula I provide here is from my personal experience with dozens of interviewees and this SECRET for success is EXCLUSIVELY for those taking this course!

The very first question from students who come to me for their London Business School interviews ask about the Case Study. Here's a crash course on how to present a study!

At the end of your interview, you will be asked this question. And I give you the ONLY question you need to ask (if your interviewer is an alumnus). What if I'm being interviewed by an adcom? I'll tell you what to ask adcom too. Aren't you glad you're here?

Look. I know it's terrible.

But, it's not the end of the world!

There are steps to take, and here they are...

Are you reapplying?

Well, I address some important things you need to know

and what you should focus your answers on in this video.

Don't waste precious hours going through tons of websites! I'll show you how to do your research and help you filter out the noise. Understand that your main source of information is not from where you think!

What should you be doing before your interview and after it?

There are steps that need to be taken.. so, take them!

Don't script your answers! Rather, apply this mind-mapping method I call the Spider Web Method! No big secrets here. Rather, it's all about the mindset!

PSA: If you are planning to take your family or spouse to your MBA journey, then you NEED to know this! Seriously, don't make the mistake many before you have made regarding this aspect.

Answering your questions is important, yes. But what's it really worth if you can't CONNECT with your interviewer? Do you know how to connect with people in general? Well, I'll teach you how to instantly connect with others by doing a very practical daily exercise.

Courtesy of a few TOP players on the inside (I cannot disclose their names), I had the privilege to discover some very interesting facts of the secretive admissions process.

So cliche, but SOOOOO true: Practice Makes Perfect. Great. But, but, HOW should I practice? No one really ever answers that question. Everybody tells you, practice! Nobody really explains HOW. Except me. Here you go.

In other words, what do you want to be remembered for? A tough one, yes.. but once you understand the format, not as tough. Watch and practice! And get ready to crush your MBA interview!
