Module 4: Classic questions, answered · Mastering MBA Interviews by Shweta Arora (IIM Ahmedabad)
(...thinking for a few seconds) Sir, it’s probably that I’m a very courageous person. I’ve battled mental health issues while in college and have bounced back stronger. After having been on meds for 6 months, I no longer need therapy or pills to handle life situations. I’m ready to face whatever may come my way, in fact I wouldn’t have been sitting here if I didn’t think I could handle the hectic life at the B-school. While recently talking to some alumni, I found they’re required to secure 48 credits each term in 8 courses and I’m all set to do that, Sir. I’m ready to embrace the challenges this journey will pose because I’m mentally prepared for it.

I stood my ground and didn’t comply. I understand the gravity of one’s ethics and the impact they can have on various stakeholders, take the case of IBM, I was recently reading that they handle 95% of Fortune 500 companies’ data. A big reason is their ethical and transparent practices since many years. That’s the kind of impact I’d like to have, Sir.
