The following Columbia MBA interview report was submitted to Clear Admit by a Regular Decision applicant.
It was exactly as described in previous posts on this website. This helped my preparation a lot and there were no surprises. It was at a Columbia alum’s office and he asked the following:
1) Tell me about yourself
2) Tell me why did you go to XXX school
3) Tell me about a time you overcame adversity either personal or professional- as I was expecting this I gave both a personal and a professional story
4) Any questions for me
It was pretty straightforward and he told me in his estimate once you’ve gotten an interview its a 50-50 chance of being admitted. Thanks to everyone who posted before me, it definitely helped me sleep better at night. Now to wait. Good luck!
