Thursday, March 18, 2004 Back in Action -- MIT Sloan interview I just returned back from Mumbai after my MIT interview and the first thing I am doing is writing my blog :) . I was away for long. Well, I landed in Mumbai on 16th evening ( from Bangalore). It was hard for me to get some sleep, since my mind was very active. Based on advice from lot of you, I had two strong coffee's in the morning to make myself fully awake for my noon interview. When I had first scheduled the interviews, they had told me the first slot for the day is at noon, but well, later on, I guess they added more people to be interviewed, so the interviews started at 10:00 AM. My interviewer had come from Bangkok the previous night . Good for the interviewer that the time difference in Bankok and Mumbai is 1.5 hours, so no jet lag. In all, they interviewed 9 people in Mumbai. In the evening they had an alumni reception. ================= My interview lasted 25 minutes. There were few questions like : - Why MBA, Why Sloan - Show an example when you displayed creativity - Show an example of difficult interaction - What do you feel proud of yourself . On the positive side: - I spoke with lot of emotions and was myself . I was confident answering few of the questions, and had solid examples. I was able to show my interest for Sloan. On the negative side: - I think I rambled a lot, went on digressions ( well thats me :). - I dont think I had a great answer for creativity question. - I didnt get any hint as to how the interview went. Besides, mine lasted 5 minutes less that what some other people went through. I couldnt figure out how the interviewer felt about me. If I had to rate my interview on a scale of 10, it would be 7/10. posted by Ravi Trivedi | 12:47 AM | |
