The following Dartmouth / Tuck MBA interview questions and report were submitted to Clear Admit by a Round 1 Applicant. Good luck to them!
I unexpectedly went to interview on the first day of interviews for the season, so it was a little nontraditional. Instead of the typical 1:1 interview with a second year, I had an interview with a member of the admissions team and had three second years sitting in observing during the interview. It’s unlikely you’d have this format interview unless you’re there for the first few days of the interview season.
It was a pretty standard behavioral interview, with some of the standard questions:
– Walk me through your resume
– Describe a time you lead a team
– Describe a time you resolved a problem on a team
– What would those team members say is your biggest strength and biggest weakness?
– Why is now a good time for an MBA and what do you hope to do post-MBA?
– Why are you interested in coming to Tuck?
– What legacy do you want to leave at Tuck?
Overall, a pretty straightforward interview and everyone at Tuck was friendly and down to earth.
