Stanford GSB MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Round 1 / Alumnus / Off Campus

Interview was at the alumnus’ office. He had no information other than my resume, and while I often referenced my resume none of the questions were specific to anything on it.

Questions:

– Why Stanford?
– Tell me about a time when you dealt with someone who was difficult. How did you handle that situation?
– Tell me about a time you worked well within a team
– Tell me about a time you faced a challenge at work and how you influenced the outcome
– What is your leadership style?
– What do you like to do outside of work?
– What do you plan on doing after business school?
Etc.

Interviewer was overall very cordial, although he pushed me to discuss specifically what I had done in each of my stories. Spent the last 10-15 minutes hearing his story and asking him questions. Very conversational overall.
