What Everybody Ought To Know About Sridhar Yendamuri MBA Admission Consultant | Ivy Strategist Admission Consulting – MIT LGO Interview Questions And Experience

MIT LGO is one of the most prestigious and competitive dual degree programs in the world.  Securing an interview must have landed you on this page, which is a significant achievement, reflecting your position as one of the most competitive candidates in the applicant pool. The insights and experiences shared below are designed to help you effectively prepare for your interview

Who conducts MIT LGO interviews?

MIT LGO interviews are conducted by a trained admissions committee member.

How important is the MIT LGO Interview for Admissions?

The MIT LGO interview is a critical component of the admissions process. Given the program's reputation for exceptionally low acceptance rates and its highly selective nature, receiving an interview invitation places you among a small, elite group of candidates.

What is the admissions committee looking for? They seek candidates with strong technical expertise, demonstrated leadership experience, and, most importantly, a desire to grow in technical leadership. The program values applicants with a clear, compelling vision to drive meaningful impact and make a difference in their field.

If you've highlighted these qualities in your essays, ensure you articulate them clearly and confidently during your interview. Structuring your responses to reflect your vision, leadership, and technical skills will help you stand out.
