I have the same thought too.... He is too polished, like perfect. But I am sure that he did not script his response. He must have given a lot of thoughts on why he want an MBA, what is doing at his job etc. (plus he is a consultant, he must be good at presentation). I understand that being too perfect makes people think that it is a bit suspicious, but I just can't accept it. He is great

I think Ben is a likable candidate... he just needs to work a bit on his soft side. maybe he can talk a bit about what made him think of starting that startup to help high school applicants to get scholarships? Some personal stories might help? Thank you for the great video... I m learning so much in each of them.

The was really helpful, as a SWM it was great to see how NOT to present. This kid, while he likely is a nice guy, presents the "frat boy chad" look, and with a ND undergrad it will be easy to get pigeonholed. You want to seem progressive, and reminded me to listen rather than initiate.

Great mock interview. Really helpful! Watched all of them. How come all male candidates? Look forward to female faces as there are increasing women applying for MBA.

For sure this guy is very easy to be disliked. even though he is experienced and has done a lot of research. He didn't show his accessible and patience to this interview. never be humble to listen to other's ideas.

because you feel inferior to him in some way, in reality, that's just the typical finance guy without too much personality and willingness to help others. he won't be the kind of guy to reach out to network for sure

I think he knows his work very well, inside out, that's where he get the confident from, unlike some people who knows nothing but pretends to be confident.

Why are people troubled by people who believe in themselves? Should everyone walk around with their faces glued to the ground begging for forgiveness for things they have not done?
