Duke / Fuqua MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Round 2 / On-Campus / 2nd Year Student

I had my Fuqua interview (on-campus) with a second-year student on the morning of February 24th. The interview was very conversational, with his questions lasting 45 minutes and my questions for him lasting the final 15 minutes (1 hour total). He took notes throughout and occasionally referenced a sheet of questions.

  • Walk me through your resume.
  • Why MBA?
  • Why Fuqua?
  • Why now?
  • What are your career goals? Short-term? Long-term?
  • Tell me about something you regret.
  • What accomplishment are you most proud of?
  • What is your biggest weakness?
  • What is your biggest strength?
  • What is your style of leadership?
  • How will you contribute to Fuqua?
  • How will Fuqua help you improve your leadership/management skills?
  • What are 3 words your friends would use to describe you?
  • What are 3 words your co-workers would use to describe you?
  • Give me your best 30-second pitch you would give to the director of admissions.
