What You Need to Know for the GSB Interview

The GSB interview isn't really testing whether you can recite your resume, it's testing whether you can talk about ambiguity without over-explaining it. This session breaks down what Stanford's interviewers are actually listening for in the "tell me about a time" questions, and how the follow-up probes work when an answer sounds too rehearsed. Ben has sat across the table from hundreds of GSB applicants and has a clear read on what separates a candidate who sounds prepared from one who sounds coached. If you already have your invite, this is a chance to pressure-test how you would answer under real follow-up questions, not just polish a script.
