Stanford GSB MBA Interview Questions & Report: Round 1 Deferred / Alumnus / MS Teams

The interviewer was a GSB alum, Dragos Bucurenci. He only saw my resume beforehand. The atmosphere was extremely casual, felt more like a coffee chat with a friend than an admissions interview. Almost all questions he asked were behavior questions. The only exception was “Why Stanford.” He did not even ask about my non-traditional background (coming from Hungary and applying for deferred), but perhaps he did not even know about this. It did not feel as if the GSB had instructed him to double down on specific aspects of my application. This part of the interview took about 25 minutes, in the remaining 30 minutes I had the opportunity to ask him questions about the GSB. The interview showed me that the GSB was interested in my personality beyond my application.
