The following UT Austin / McCombs MBA interview report was submitted to Clear Admit by a Round 1 applicant. Good luck to them!
The interview was very conversational and very relaxed. It lasted for 35-40 minutes. My interviewer had a very friendly personality so that really helped calm my nerves. I had prepped in advance for all the typical questions so I was able to deliver them confidently and clearly. I also made it a point to not take more than 3-4 minutes to answer a question. I was dressed in a full suit. My interviewer was casually dressed. She was taking down notes during all my answers. I sent her a thank you note 4-5 hours after the interview and she was quick to reply.
These were the questions she asked me (in the same order):
• Résumé walk-through
• Short-term/long-term goals
• Why MBA is the next step in my career?
• Why McCombs?
• Leadership Experience Example
• Multi-cultural/diverse team experience Example
• How I would contribute to my cohort
• What the application experience taught me
• Anything I’d like to share
• Questions for the interviewer
