Duke / Fuqua MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Round 2 / Off Campus / Alum

I interviewed with an alumn from Fuqua (Duke) in London on Sunday, February 19, 2012. My interviewer chose the lobby of Landmark hotel in Central London as the venue. It was a very fine hotel with a comfortable and secluded seating area in the lobby.

  1. Why am I here in London? – I am not a British
  2. What’s my current role?
  3. Have you done modeling in your current role? (I am a general manager). My interviewer probed me and when she couldn’t obtain a satisfactory answer, she asked me that how comfortable am I with Maths?
  4. One example where a team member wasn’t pulling his or her weight? How did I tackle the situation?
  5. What’s my style of leadership?
  6. Why Fuqua?
  7. How will I contribute to Fuqua?
  8. Since my interviewer was from Armenia and I had worked in Armenia for a while, we spoke about that for a bit.

My interview lasted for almost 50 minutes. My interviewer was really nice and she conducted the interview as a casual chat. I was extremely at ease and really enjoyed the process.
