Stockholm School of Economics 2025 Thread - Digital Interview

I recently got my SSE invite for the digital interview but was curious to hear about how the interview process is. What kind of questions do they ask? Are they economics related -- I've applied for the BSc in Business and Economics program.

Also, the email says there is a writing portion of this second round. What does that entail? How does it work -- is it timed, etc.

I have a low predicted IB score (33), expect to score much higher on the finals but this is what I applied with and didn't think they would even consider my application due to this, but my counselor has a personal contact in admissions and I suspect that is why. Do I have a chance at an acceptance after this round?

Additionally, what are the advantages of doing undergraduate at SSE and in Stockholm?

To see what kind of questions they ask you can check in by using the link sent to you in the email. Then you can practice your interview.
I did on practice and my three questions were :
Q1.If time and money were not an issue, what would you do for the next 24 hours and why?
Q2.Do you prefer coffee or tea? Why?
Q3.If you were the first person on earth contacted by an extraterrestrial culture, what would you say to them? Why?

I wasn't sure if I could do the practice session without having to do the interview directly after. Is there a time frame for the practice sessions?

You can do the practice questions without having to do the interview right after. A practice session has 3 questions, you have 30s to prepare for each and 45s to answer. Keep in mind that no one can see your practice sessions' answers so it is okay to not say anything and just note what are the questions being ask.

Okay thank you. And do you know if these questions are the same asked in the formal interview section?

I really don't know. Probably not, maybe one or two. I honestly don't think they would tell us the actual questions

I have to do the ITB business test. Any recommendations/practice questions? Or things to study? As there is only one practice exam.
