December EMBA Interview at UVA Darden with Adcom.

Very conversational. We toured the Sands Family Grounds first, then found an empty room to pop into for the interview. I believe it was blind, though I’d had a phone conversation with this particular adcom person a month prior.

Questions

  • She asked me to walk her through my timeline in chronological order.
  • She’d ask clarifying questions
    • Why did I pick the Marine Corps?
    • What role to I typical play on a team? (for example).

The interview was way easier than I expected and felt like a meet and greet typical at work. I felt questions were expected, so I was sure to bring some that I couldn’t have answered from the website (why do students choose EMBA over GEMBA format, for example).

I felt like the interview was mostly to determine if I would be a good cultural fit in the EMBA cohort, in order to add to the case method pedagogy.
