The following Stanford GSB interview questions and report were submitted to Clear Admit by a Round 2 applicant. Good luck to them!
Initially it was a little difficult to find a mutually agreeable time. After some back and forth, we were able to find a time during the week to meet in the city (East Coast). The beginning was certainly very conversational, as we are both from the same area, and this certainly helped break the ice.
The interview ended up lasting about an hour and covered the following questions:
- Tell me about yourself.
- Why did you decide to study X as an undergrad.
- Walk me through a typical day at job X.
- Hardest decision you have had to make at X job.
- Why and MBA / Why now?
- What happens if an MBA doesn’t work out.
Overall the tone was conversational, however at times it got intense as he spun questions off my responses. We conducted the interview in a hotel lobby, which meant it was a little louder than I had hoped. I followed up with an email note the same day, and he quickly responded wishing me well in the process.
