Here are the questions and Stacy’s top tips:

1. What is your biggest weakness?

Stacy’s recommendation: Address your weaknesses in a way that shows self-reflection and a dedication to improvement.

2. Tell me about a time you failed.

Stacy’s recommendation: Choose your anecdote wisely – from a professional setting or your personal life – and refrain from sharing pseudo failures that ultimately show your poor judgment.

3. Describe a poor manager you've had.

Stacy’s recommendation: Your best bet is to briefly explain, with no bitterness, your issues with the manager and quickly move on to the positives: how you adapted, became empathetic, reached a compromise or confronted the situation to ultimately achieve a favorable outcome.

4. Tell me about an ethical dilemma you faced.

Stacy’s recommendation: Show the ability to analyse business situations that raise moral dilemmas or appear to call for unpopular actions.

5. Tell me about yourself.

Stacy’s recommendation: This seems like the easiest question, but because it's so open-ended, applicants often ramble and get lost in the weeds. Structure your thoughts and come up with your "elevator pitch", the one-to-two-minute speech where you convey who you are and what motivates you, your education, work accomplishments and passions, why you want an MBA and what professional goals the degree will help you reach.
