How to Ace the HBS Interview

The HBS interview runs differently than most b-school interviews: it's conversational and fast-moving, and the adcom has already read your file closely enough to probe the parts that don't quite add up. This session covers what that actually feels like in the room and how to prepare for questions that follow up rather than ones you can fully script in advance. Rifat works on storytelling and has coached candidates through the kind of high-stakes interviews where a rehearsed answer falls apart under a follow-up. Expect a practical look at staying grounded when the conversation goes somewhere you didn't plan for, not a list of sample questions to memorize.
