Chicago Booth MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Round 1 / On-campus / Alum

I interviewed at Booth for round 1 , Nov 19,2011, on campus. I was invited to interview so I was very happy.

It was a Saturday so I did not have to worry about parking. My interview was at 9:30 am, I arrived at 9:00 am.

While I waited from my interview, there were students in the waiting area who would talk to you about Booth (seems pretty standard these days), but all nice people and answer all questions. I would advise exploiting this opportunity.

The interview itself was done by a Booth Alum (2011). It just so happened she was of the same ethnic background as me (coincidence?). As soon as we sat down she took her watch off and said she had exactly half an hour.

Questions were all standard , all available on the Clear admit page

  1. Walk me through your resume
  2. Why Booth?
  3. Why MBA?
  4. What is your biggest strength?
  5. What is your biggest weakness?
  6. What do you want to do after your MBA?
  7. Do you have any questions for me?

I was well prepared , thanks to this wiki. She cut me off at exactly half an hour and then thanked me.

Result : was denied admission.
