Mock Interview
Receiving an interview invitation is a massive achievement. It means the admissions committee already likes your written story and now want to meet the person behind the paper. It is completely natural to feel anxious about this next step. Many applicants make the mistake of over-rehearsing and sounding robotic. Others try to wing it and end up rambling. My goal is to help you find the perfect middle ground. In this supportive but rigorous simulation I act as your interviewer and narrative guide. We will focus on the core themes of your story. I tailor the style of the interview to your specific target school. Whether you are facing a deep dive into your resume for HBS or a behavioral assessment for Kellogg you will feel prepared and centered.
What's included
In preparation, please send me your completed application materials, including at a minimum your MBA resume and MBA essays for target school that you want to practice in the mock setting.
- Targeted Preparation: Before we meet I review your submitted application. My questions will be tailored directly to your profile and potential blind spots just like the real admissions committee
- Live Simulation: We will conduct a realistic 30 to 45 minute mock interview simulating the exact tone and pacing of your target program
- The "So What" Feedback Conversation: Immediately following the mock we will break down your performance. We will apply the "So What" test to your answers to ensure your impact is clear.

Top 5 Leland Coach 2026 | 200+ M7 Admits | $5MM+ in scholarships
🏆 Selected as one of the Top 5 Coaches on Leland 🏆 As part of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business Admissions team, I reviewed hundreds of applications and learned what distinguished the successful candidates from those who were merely qualified for admission. I also obtained my MBA from Booth and have professional experiences in management consulting, tech, and the healthcare sectors. My focus in each sector was always marketing and strategy, helping each business stand out from its competition. Along the way, as I began helping friends and acquaintances gain admission to their top choice programs, I realized I had a passion for teasing out a person's story to highlight what separated them from the herd. I dove in to making admissions consulting a bigger part of my life, and have never looked back! I spend the bulk of my time with my clients helping create a framework for their stories. Where have you succeeded? Where have you failed? What excites you? What's different about you? My clients describe the work that I do as part admissions consulting and part executive coaching. The skills I impart help not only with creating an MBA application, but also with refining career goals and objectives. A lot of coaches promise to deliver, but you can verify my claims by looking at what former clients have said about me on Leland and at https://poetsandquants.com/consultant/faisal-khan/?pq-directory-type=consultant, where I have testimonials from clients admitted to all Top 10 schools and with over $5MM in combined scholarship grants, including full rides. As an MBA coach, it's not enough to simply have graduated from a top business school. As an active member of AIGAC - our global, governing body - I make sure to stay in close communication with the admissions teams at all of the top business schools. This is how a coach ensures they have the most up-to-date information about each business school's goals and objectives for the year, and can in turn help you craft an application that speaks to these.
