The interviewer was extremely nice and friendly! They had reviewed my CV and didn’t ask typical questions like “introduce yourself” or “walk me through your resume.” The experience was really pleasant and laid back, but the timing is important to keep an eye on.

The questions were (not necessarily in order):

– What are you most proud of?
– TMAT when you worked with someone with a different opinion than yours.
– Tell me something about you that’s not in your CV or application.
– What research did you do prior to deciding to pursue an MBA?
– ST / LT goals (I integrated why Yale in that)
– How will you use your internship opportunity between Y1 and Y2 and what’s the role of it in your career plan?
– How will you contribute to Yale?
– What does your quote mean to you?

Interviewer was really involved in my stories and didn’t try to intimidate me. However, it’s crucial to be ready for follow-ups and mind the timing, so that you don’t leave important questions like goals & why Yale unanswered. Good luck everyone!
