The following Columbia MBA interview questions & report were submitted to Clear Admit by an Early Decision applicant. Good luck to them!

  1. Walk me through your résumé. While I was walking him through the resume, he asked questions around why I made the switch to my current job, what department I am working with currently, in what all fields is my employer involved.
  2. Why MBA? Why now? – The focus was primarily on my long term goals and how I would achieve them?
  3. Why Columbia? – Alumnus also shared his experience when I talked about the resources available at CBS.
  4. What leadership roles would I take outside classroom?
  5. Any questions for Alumnus.

Overall, the interview went positive.
