Interviewed on campus with a 2nd year student. I work in consulting and I was paired with a student who was a consultant before coming to Fuqua. She mentioned when possible they try to pair you with someone who is familiar with your industry/field in order to help candidates become familiar and comfortable with the environment.
1. Tell me about yourself
2. Why an MBA?
3. What specifically do you like about Duke?
4. Why do you want to return to your company?
5. Short and Long term goals?
6. If you had a minute with the Director of Admissions, what would you say to him/her?
The interview was more like a conversation than a 1 on 1 interview session. Typically, I know they usually reserve time for questions at the end but throughout the actual interview there were moments in the back and forth where I just naturally asked a few questions. Overall, the interviewer was not only very friendly but also very engaging and attentive. I enjoyed the experience.
Like all schools, Duke really is big on fit, which is why they go out of their way to really get to know students and provide so much information to perspective students. Throughout my visit I found students to be friendly, engaging, and genuinely interested in other people. If that sounds like you, it sounds like you may fit in at Fuqua.
