The UCLA interview was very casual and conducted by 2nd Year students at the Admissions Office on Campus. My interviewer began by asking for my resume and asked me to walk him through. I began from my college undergrad degree and worked my way up the resume, giving highlights for each position. Thereafter, most of the questions were focused on my current position and role which he was interested in learning more about. This was a blind interview. Questions asked:
1. Tell me about your current position and role
2. What was one of the most challenging experiences you’ve encountered
3. Why UCLA and why MBA?
4. Short term and long-term goals
5. How will you contribute to UCLA?
6. How do you plan on getting involved at UCLA?
7. Do you have any aims to be involved in your community or create social change? What are those goals?
The interview ended with about 15-20min of questions for me to ask the interviewer. The school is definitely focused on a candidate’s fit and it doesn’t hurt to show your enthusiasm for the school and the career choices you’ve made.
