IE B-school interview experience 1:
Hi, I am Neha. I applied through General Education last year and got admitted in IE Business School. My interview was taken by the alumni of IE Business School. She was very friendly, and it continued for about 40-45 minutes. I should say it was more than interview a conversation or general discussion in between us. Before the interview, there was a class and campus tour I was able to participate in. The students were extremely friendly (something IE Business School takes pride in because of the close-knit community). I recommend doing some activities beforehand because it will help you during the interview.
