HBS MBA | Interview Prep

Securing an HBS interview is a significant milestone, but the interview itself is a different challenge. Unlike traditional MBA interviews, HBS interviews are highly personalized, fast-paced, and designed to test how you think, communicate, and reflect on your experiences. I'll help you prepare through a structured, three-hour coaching program combining application analysis, targeted practice, and a realistic mock interview. Coaching will focus on: Application review: Identify key experiences, decisions, potential gaps, and areas the interviewer is most likely to explore. Core narrative: Sharpen your personal story, career goals, MBA rationale, and specific motivations for HBS. Behavioral preparation: Practice explaining difficult decisions, leadership experiences, setbacks, and lessons learned. Interview execution: Improve answer structure, concision, adaptability, and comfort with rapid follow-up questions. Mock simulation: Complete a timed HBS-style interview under realistic conditions. Targeted feedback: Evaluate performance, identify areas for improvement, and revisit your weakest responses. Unexpected questions: Develop the confidence to navigate unfamiliar questions without relying on scripted answers. Interviewer questions: Prepare thoughtful, authentic questions for your interviewer. Post-interview reflection: Develop a clear framework for your written reflection following the interview. How we'll work together: Strategy & preparation (60 minutes): Review your application, identify likely interview questions, and refine your core narrative. Mock interview (60 minutes): Conduct a realistic, timed interview simulation followed by an initial performance debrief. Feedback & refinement (60 minutes): Review your interview performance, address key improvement areas, and prepare for the post-interview reflection. Following each session, you'll receive a concise written summary of strengths, improvement opportunities, and recommended next steps. The objective is straightforward: walk into your HBS interview confident, prepared, and capable of articulating not just what you've accomplished, but how you think and what you've learned.
