I interviewed on campus at Georgetown McDonough on January 19 with my case manager on the admissions committee. The interview was a bit more formal/structured than the conversational ones at other schools and lasted approximately 45 minutes. I was granted about 10 minutes to ask questions and follow up on any of the previous discussion. This part was a bit awkward as I asked about the curriculum redesign which at that point they weren’t ready to release any information on this topic yet. She took sporadic notes on my resume and seemed to mentally refer back to a list of prepared behavioral interview questions.
- Discussion of various professional points on my resume
- Tell me about [unusual internship/collegiate experience] on your resume
- Why MBA?
- Why McDonough?
- What are your career goals?
- Short-term after MBA?
- Long-term?
- Tell me about a challenging situation at work and how you dealt with it.
- Give me an example of a time where you managed another individual.
- How is the extent of your community/volunteering involvement?
