School-specific Interview Prep from a Leading Expert
Since 2002, I have helped hundreds of applicants get admitted to their dream schools.
Please read these FAQs to learn how we make it happen.
What tools does Vince use to help his clients their interviews?
Original Curriculum
Mock Interviews
School-specific small-group interview seminars
Beyond my website and YouTube channel, I have extensive data that I will only share with you once we start working together
Each interview is school specific. I do not believe in general-purpose mock interviews
If you are my comprehensive or interview-only client, you can join school-specific small-group interview seminars that I organize for those invited to interview with HBS, Wharton, LBS, Stanford (MBA and MSx), MIT (Sloan Fellows and two-year MBA)
I have two e-books, one about my Mirror Method and one about my 16 Stories method for behavioral interview questions
As a professional stage actor and improvisor who has met most of the admissions directors at your target schools, I am always try to role play them at our interview
Those seminars are limited to no-more than six (6) participants at each seminar; first priority is given to comprehensive clients
Once we start working together, I will share the appropriate materials at the appropriate time
Also, since I have been doing this work since 2002, I may even know your alumni interviewer, so I can try to role-play them, as well
You may join as many seminars as you get invited to interview with; in other words, if you apply to HBS, Stanford, MIT, LBS, and Wharton and are invited to interview with each school, you may attend all five seminars
What will happen in our mock interview?
If you purchase one sixty-minute session, we will only schedule one call
You may wish to purchase additional mock interviews, subject to availability
I focus on asking relevant questions
For many schools, follow-up questions are just as important as initial questions
Some schools are known for not asking follow-up questions. If we are practicing for those schools, I will refrain from asking follow-ups
I like to provide at least two rounds of feedback during our sixty-minute session
Therefore, rather than asking questions for 30 minutes and then providing 30 minutes of feedback, break the question/feedback cycle into shorter increments to make our session more productive
What should I share with Vince before the mock interview?
If your interview will be "blind," then I only need your resume.
If your interview will be application-based (HBS, MIT, LBS, INSEAD), then please share your entire written application, including your letters of recommendation, if available.

Can I work with Vince for only one hour?
Over time, I have found that students are more motivated to practice and improve if they know they are coming back to meet me again (either for the same school or another)
Thus, I have a two-session minimum
As you know, pursuing an MBA represents a significant career investment
And passing the interview is the final step
Why not work with the best?
