An MBA interview is not just a casual conversation or a job interview
If you’ve reached a point in your career where you’re applying to a prestigious MBA program, you’ve likely been through several job interviews before.
Of course, MBA interviews are different from job interviews and your previous interview experience doesn’t necessarily predict success in MBA interviews.
In fact, some of the worst MBA interview stories I’ve heard are from people who consider themselves good at interviews.

That’s because an MBA interview presents new challenges and factors to consider, so knowing how to handle them with expertise and skill requires different preparation and thinking than you may be used to. Furthermore, the objective of an MBA interview is to gauge the strength of your profile, assess your fit with the school, and test your ability to think on your feet. Additionally, unlike when you applied for a job, your interviewer often has access to your submitted essays and letters of recommendation, allowing them to test your ability to provide a consistent story during your interview. You might already have started preparing and might have even downloaded sample questions and written out your answers. The problem is, when you try to apply these templates to your own story, it doesn’t quite work. Our interview prep focuses on helping you determine how to present yourself during your MBA interview while using appropriate, impact-driven language without being artificial, or worse, robotic. By focusing on live one-on-one training with clients (never automated platforms), our interview experts here at Ellin Lolis Consulting have helped thousands of applicants around the world select appropriate stories, maintain consistency, demonstrate fit, and sell their profiles. This approach ensures you not only have the best interview of your life but also that you get accepted to your top choice MBA programs.
