After spending a day on campus for a tour and class visit, I had a very relaxed interview with a second year student. All the students I met over the 2 days I was on campus were great – very friendly and enthusiastic about the school – and my interviewer was no different. There were no surprise questions. We started with a bit of small talk to break the ice, and the interviewer told me a bit about his background, followed by questions on my career progression, why MBA, why Chicago, time where there was a conflict on a team and how I dealt with it. Some of the less standard questions were if you were interviewing yourself, what would you have asked and how would you answer it; what one word would you use to summarize your application; and what motivates you? We kept pretty close to the 30 minute time frame, with about 20-25 minutes of him asking questions with about 10 min at the end for my questions. All in all it was very conversational.
