Cornell / Johnson MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Round 2 / Off Campus (Skype) / Adcom

My interview was via Skype — because of snow, I was unable to make it to campus as planned. The interview itself was quite formal — very much question-answer, but the interviewer did make an effort to transition nicely from one question to the next. There were no surprises for me, but I was glad I had done a little research on Skype interviews beforehand because it was definitely a little off-putting.

Questions:

  • Before we get started, tell me something about yourself that isn’t on your resume
  • Walk me through your employment history and why you make the changes that you did
  • What are your goals directly out of business school
  • Why Johnson
  • What immersion program are you interested in (this one actually did throw me off)
  • Discuss a time at work where you faced a conflict
  • Discuss a time at work where you had to make a difficult decision
  • What other schools are you applying to

The interview itself took 30 min, and then I asked questions for 10-15 min.
