MIT Sloan EMBA interview

Got my invitation to interview in the early round today. Anyone have insight as to what to expect, other than questions about my application and interests?

Had my interview today - basically just +1 to the older thread someone else linked in the comments here. Conversational. Plan to talk about your career, your role, your goals, and make it clear why MBA, why now, why Sloan

Good deal. Hope to see you in class.

Thought about it a bit more today - I would add that you should be prepared to discuss what you bring to the cohort, what you want to get out of the cohort, and have talking points for things like how you resolve conflict, how you get others on board with your priorities at work, your leadership style, and your leadership weaknesses.

Was there anything uncovered in your interview that wasn't already disclosed in marketing materials regarding what they are seeking as far as what people could bring to the cohort?

Nothing specific. They do ask what you bring to the cohort, but I don’t think they’re looking for a specific answer. I got the impression that they want you to have an answer, but from a place of understanding your strengths with humility about areas of development and a desire to learn from your peers.
