Ace Your HBS Interview
The HBS interview is an intense, direct, fast-moving, and highly tailored to the application you submitted. You will need to understand your own application deeply, defend your choices, explain your motivations, and respond with clarity under pressure. This package is designed to help you prepare for the style of probing, resume-specific, judgment-based questions HBS is known for. We will pressure-test your leadership examples, career logic, decision points, weaknesses, school fit, and personal motivations so you can walk in prepared but not scripted. We will work on both what you say and how you say it (structure, specificity, pace, confidence, warmth, and executive presence) so that you sound thoughtful, concise, self-aware, and ready for HBS.
What's included
- Pre-session offline review of your resume and submitted application materials
- HBS-specific interview strategy and preparation plan
- Customized question set based on your profile and application
- Mock interview simulation in an HBS-style format
- Detailed debrief on content, structure, delivery, and risk areas
- Refinement of key stories, goals, leadership examples, and weakness questions
- Post-interview reflection strategy if applicable

Becky S.
I’m Becky Song, a Wharton MBA, former Wharton admissions fellow, professional admissions and career coach, and Founder & Executive Director of Ivy Journey (theivyjourney.com). Over the past 15+ years, I’ve helped hundreds of applicants and professionals earn admission to top MBA, master’s, and college programs, as well as land offers across consulting, strategy, and business roles. My clients have been admitted to top MBA programs (e.g., HBS, Stanford GSB, Wharton, MIT Sloan, Columbia, Kellogg, Booth, LBS, Insead, etc.) and top Ivy undergrad & grad programs. I’ve also coached 500+ candidates through career transitions, resumes, interviews, consulting recruiting, and personal positioning. What makes my coaching different is the combination of admissions judgment, career strategy, and narrative positioning. I help clients understand what schools and employers are really evaluating, then translate their background into a clear, differentiated story that feels authentic and compelling. I’m especially strong with MBA applicants, college applicants, master’s candidates, international applicants, first-generation applicants, consulting candidates, and professionals making major career pivots. Personally, I’ve navigated several pivots myself: actuary, nonprofit leader, strategy consultant, Wharton MBA, admissions fellow, founder, and career coach. If you want a coach who can help you think strategically, sharpen your story, and move through a competitive process with more clarity and confidence, I’d love to work with you!
