If you are one of the thousands of applicants with their sights set on admission to Harvard Business School, odds are you have considered whether or not you will receive a coveted invitation to interview with the school’s admissions committee. With its unique interview approach, HBS has continuously vexed top MBA applicants--but there’s no need to worry.


Through this new live streaming event, Poets&Quants Founder John Byrne will sit down with former HBS admissions interviewer Devi Vallabhaneni for a one-of-a-kind “mock” HBS interview simulation, in which Devi will interview John just as she would an actual applicant.


Devi is an HBS alumna, former HBS Alumni Interviewer, former HBS Admissions Board Member, and now the HBS Interviewer-in-Residence at the world’s #1 admissions consulting firm, mbaMission. While on the HBS Admissions Board, she interviewed HBS candidates in Boston, London, and Paris. Over her 20+ years in MBA admissions and readiness, she has conducted thousands of real and mock interviews helping candidates across all industries, geographies, backgrounds, and personal stories. Now, through her work with mbaMission, she’s available for Intensive Interview prep exclusively for HBS applicants.


During this 30-minute mock interview and subsequent debrief, John and Devi will illuminate common HBS interview concerns, such as:


What is anxiety-producing about the HBS interview?
What are the myths surrounding preparation and the interview itself?
How can someone prepare? Isn’t it hard to know what’s covered?
What does it mean to be authentic in the interview?
Does your interview have to be perfect for you to be accepted? What if you feel like you messed up an answer?
What is HBS really looking for in the interview? Can it make or break someone’s candidacy?
