The 3 Most Important HBS Interview Questions-Does This Applicant Get Them Right?

Shannon is aiming high with her MBA aspirations, targeting Stanford, Harvard, Berkeley, MIT, and Chicago Booth. And on paper, at least, she’s an ideal candidate with a 740 GMAT score, a 3.6 GPA in environmental sciences and economics from Peking University, and lots of great working experience in several different countries.
In this episode of Fridays With Sandy, HBS Guru Sandy Kreisberg brings Shannon through the paces of a mock interview.

In China, there is a 985 lists (equivalent with Ivy League in the US and Russell Group in UK). So Peking is one of the member of 985 lists, and also well-known as a top 3 universities in China (Tsinghua, Peking, Fudan).
