Just had my HBS interview yesterday with an alum. I had no time to prepare for this one, as I worked till 11pm on the day before, and was very busy yesterday whole day at work. But I did do the following:
1) re-read my HBS application and reference letters (if you have access)
2) Quickly look up the alum's background - you can normally guess his company name through his email address
3) Anticipate questions and write down key points - I don't like to write out the whole answer as I might forget how to say the exactly
I think the benefit of having an alum interview is that: 1. you will have less competition. The alum will probably interview only 1 or 2 candidates while the adcoms have to do dozens. 2. you have more time and more relaxed. No other interviews are scheduled back to back. But of course, adcom might have more say on the admission than an alum.
Thanks to 翩翩起舞 and shingspirit for help offered! I'd be happy to help others who want to practice!
