This was an optional interview that lasted 30 minutes. It was aimed at providing me with more info about UT Austin and the MBA experience. The interviewer spent the first half asking me questions and gave me 15 minutes to ask her questions. It was very casual and informative.
Questions she asked me:
1. Introduce yourself.
2. Why McCombs? (Talked about what my goals are, why an MBA now, and then answered why McCombs)
3. What do you see yourself getting involved in when you come to McCombs? (I talked about clubs–professional and extra-curricular)
Questions I asked her:
1. Could you tell me about your impression of an MBA at UT Austin, coming from a CS background?
2. How do you manage different opportunities and what is the academic-clubs balance (is it 50-50)?
3. What did you find difficult as you transitioned to business school from industry?
4. Perspective on scholarships in UT Austin.
5. What would you recommend doing between now and the program start date?
