Duke / Fuqua MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Round 1 / 2nd Year / On-Campus

It was a resume-based interview, with the interviewer having no exposure to the other portions of my application. In addition to my resume, the interviewer had a sheet of questions with spaces to write answers/notes, and continued to make reference to the need to follow the sheet (my experience was more conversational than most of the other interviewees reported during subsequent discussion) Thus, the questions asked were:

-What is your story?

-What do you want to do, and why do you need an MBA to do it?

-Why does that MBA need to be from Fuqua?

-What will you contribute to the program? (I had spoken previously about Team Fuqua, so the interviewer framed this question as ‘What teams will you contribute to?)

Then, some behavioral questions:

-What is your greatest success, and your greatest failure?

-Tell me how you work as part of a team

Then I got about 5 minutes to ask my questions, and that was it. Fingers crossed!
