In the Imperial MBA interview, they want to know if you’ve really thought through your decision. They don’t just want good grades or job titles — they want people who know what they want and how Imperial can help.
Be clear about your reason for doing an MBA and why now is the right time. Also explain why Imperial is the right place. If you’re interested in areas like tech, startups, or sustainability, show how the program fits those goals. Don’t just mention London — talk about what you’ll do at Imperial.
Past candidates have been asked how they made a quick decision, managed a tough situation, or worked with people from different backgrounds. So don’t only prepare big success stories — also prepare simple, real examples that show how you solve problems.
They also notice when students have taken time to learn about the school. If you’ve spoken to alumni, joined online sessions, or read about a professor’s work, bring that up. It shows that you’re serious and prepared.
