My interview at Kenan-Flagler occurred in mid-November on campus. I visited a core marketing class with a current student. Following class, I went to lunch with current and prospective students and took a tour of the school.
I arrived at 10:30 a.m. and met a student for an 11 a.m. class. The office was very attentive and all the student guides showed up on time. The marketing class was full (around 70 students) and the professor kept the discussion on pricing engaging and fast-paced. After class, I returned to the admissions office and met up with a group heading to lunch. At lunch, I had the chance to ask current students all about life at KF and the culture of the school. I also learned about some specific student experiences that helped me in the interview. A campus tour followed lunch with yet another volunteer student who provided another perspective of campus life and was very informative. I returned to admissions office shortly before my scheduled interview. Right on time, Donna Bauman fetched me from the waiting area for the interview in her office. The interview lasted about 60 minutes and was very comfortable. I stressed how important it had been for me to visit campus and get a good sense of the student body and culture. The interview was basic and covered the following areas:
- Background and walking through my resume
- Why KF and why now
- Examples of leadership
- Any questions I had about KF
