How should I prepare for the LBS MBA interview?

Preparing for the LBS MBA interview means knowing your application inside out and being ready to back it up with real examples.

Here’s what to focus on:

• Know your story: Be clear on your goals, why you want an MBA now, and why LBS.
• Practice behavioral questions: They’ll ask about teamwork, leadership, failure, and conflict — so prepare stories using the STAR format  (Situation, Task, Action, Result) .
• Know LBS well: Mention specific electives, professors, or clubs that align with your goals.
• Work on communication: Keep answers concise. Don’t over-explain. Be natural and structured.
• Mock interviews: Do at least 1-2 with someone who can give honest feedback.

Most interviews last 60–75 minutes and feel like a deep conversation rather than a strict Q&A. Stay calm, be honest, and show how you think — not just what you’ve done.
