What do you do to relax?

The MBA program at MIT is challenging. Now is the time to convince your interviewer you are prepared to handle the demands of the program while maintaining your well-being. This is especially true for executive MBA candidates who plan to work full-time and pursue an advanced degree at one of the most prestigious programs in the nation.

Keep your answer to this question brief. While it is likely a more enjoyable topic than some of the other questions you will be asked, most candidates only have 30 minutes with their interviewer. Make it clear you know how to take advantage of downtime and move on.

I like to spend time outdoors relaxing. I love to garden, hike, and exercise. I feel like spending time in nature helps me to let go of the stress of the day and find clarity.
