Real MBA Interview Questions

Our parent company Sam Weeks Consulting asks all clients to send over the questions they were asked. In this course we’ve compiled these real MBA interview questions into a clear and simple guide. We’ve even created separate sections for the Wharton Team Based Discussion (TBD) and London Business School mini-case questions.

Course Details

MBAconsultant.com contains everything you need to get admitted to top MBA programs, delivered in a clear step-by-step methodology.

Blind Interview Questions

In Blind interviews, the interviewer hasn’t read your application essays or recommendations. Instead, interviewers—often alumni, second-year students, or admissions staff—evaluate you from a fresh perspective.

Used by Stanford GSB, Berkeley Haas, Chicago Booth, Columbia, Cornell Johnson, Duke Fuqua, Michigan Ross, Northwestern Kellogg, UCLA Anderson, UVA Darden and Yale SOM.

Non-Blind Interview Questions

In a non-blind MBA interview, your interviewer has already reviewed your full application—resume, essays, recommendations, and forms. It's usually admissions staff, trained alumni, or faculty.

Used by Harvard Business School, MIT Sloan, NYU Stern, INSEAD, London Business School, Oxford Saïd and Cambridge Judge.

The Wharton TBD

Wharton has its own unique interview format, the Team Based Discussion (TBD). Every year we host mock TBDs with clients, and share the recordings here.

Includes example pitches, recordings of mock TBDs with real MBA applicants, and the questions you’re likely to be asked in the 1-to-1 interview afterwards.

The LBS Mini Case

Unlike other business schools, London Business School asks interviewees to address a case study. This test of your ability to tackle case problems is particularly daunting for non-consultants.

Includes real cases asked to our previous clients and model answers to tackle these perfectly.

28 Questions To Ask

At the end of your MBA interview, you'll likely have the opportunity to ask questions.

This topic includes 28 questions to ask admissions, alumni or student interviewers.

Practical Considerations

What should I wear for my interview? Is it better to interview in-person or remotely? Don't leave yourself wondering about the practical considerations.
