Thanks to my loyal blog contributor for sharing this HBS Admissions Director Interview & MBA Admissions Coach. This could be useful to those of you who are MBA aspirants!

In the hierarchy of MBA admissions people, Deirdre "Dee" Leopold sits at the very top. As Harvard Business School's managing director of MBA admissions and financial aid, she sees more applications in a single year than any other MBA admission official in the world. The 910 members of the Class of 2012, chosen from 9,524 applicants, will get their official dean's welcome on Sept. 7th and soon after settle into their first classes in Harvard's two-year MBA program. With the exception of 2004, when 10,382 people applied to the Harvard Business School, it was the highest number of applications Leopold's office ever had to process.
The reason why Kreisberg, the self-proclaimed HBS Guru, has all these files is that he grilled more than 100 applicants to Harvard last year in mock interviews, helping candidates prepare for the real thing with the school's admissions staff. About 70% of those 100+ candidates are in this fall's entering class. Kreisberg claims he interviewed more applicants to Harvard than anyone in the admissions office of the school last year. A spokesman for Harvard disputes the claim. Asked for more comment on Kreisberg, the spokesman says, "I think we'll pass on that one."
