Harvard Business School<\/p><\/div>\n

If you are one of the thousands of applicants whose sights are set on attending Harvard Business School (HBS), odds are you have wondered if you will receive a coveted invitation to interview with the school\u2019s admissions committee. Whether you have already applied and are preparing for your admissions interview or you are researching the process in anticipation of applying, you are likely asking yourself an important question: <\/span><\/p>\n

What can I expect during a Harvard Business School interview?\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

With its unique and intensive interview approach, HBS has continuously vexed MBA applicants for years. To help, we at mbaMission recently teamed up with <\/span>Poets&Quants<\/span><\/em> to create a new resource for HBS applicants that presents exactly the types of questions one might expect to be asked during a typical HBS admissions interview\u2014and the best way to answer them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Poets&Quants<\/span><\/em> Founder John A. Byrne sat down with mbaMission\u2019s Managing Director and HBS Interviewer in Residence <\/span>Devi Vallabhaneni<\/a><\/strong> for a one-of-a-kind mock HBS interview, in which Devi interviewed John just as she has hundreds of real HBS applicants.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

As an HBS graduate, a former HBS alumni interviewer, and a former HBS Admissions Board member, Devi has interviewed <\/span>thousands<\/span><\/em> of HBS candidates in Boston, London, and Paris. Over her more than 20 years working in MBA admissions and readiness, she has helped candidates across all industries, geographies, and backgrounds showcase their best attributes via the interview process\u2014and now she is using her unique experience to better inform and benefit the pool of today\u2019s HBS applicants.<\/span>

During the 30-minute mock interview and subsequent debrief, John and Devi illuminated common HBS interview concerns including the following:<\/span>
