The interviewer may ask hard questions to determine how you handle yourself in stressful situations; they want to see if you can think on your feet and handle an MBA program’s pressure. It’s okay to take time before you answer questions, especially if you find them a bit difficult.
You can always say, “let me think about that,” take a sip of water or coffee to provide a natural pause in the conversation. You can also ask for clarification if you need it. If you aren’t sure about the answer to a question, it’s best to be honest.
Admit that you don’t know the answer and connect it back to your goals in developing business knowledge or why you’re applying for an MBA. What’s most important is that you keep your cool and remain composed and confident.
