Columbia MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Round 1 / Alumnus / Off-Campus

The following Columbia MBA admissions interview report was submitted to Clear Admit by a Regular Decision applicant.

The interview was at a coffee shop. It was casual and conversational, though the interviewer really focused on my previous experiences.

The questions asked were:

1. Tell me about yourself.
2. Why MBA?
3. Why Columbia?
4. Why xyz industry?
5. What would you do if your industry was gone?
6. Would you go back to your previous job function?
7. Do you have questions for me?

All in all – very simple. 1.5 hour interview. Good luck all.
