Why it matters
Why the Ivey AEO video interview matters
Ivey AEO is conditional pre-admission to the HBA program, and the mandatory Kira interview helps admissions assess communication, personality, and experiences beyond the written application. Strong preparation matters because leadership and academics are both central to the holistic review.
Admissions Weighting
Ivey states academics and leadership experience are weighted equally in the AEO review process.
Interview Length
The full Kira interview is typically completed in one sitting, so concise timed responses are essential.
