I used this to prepare for my interviews, so definitely wanted to return the favor to others. I interviewed with an alumna in her office. She introduced herself very briefly and then she asked the following questions (more or less in this order):
- Why MBA, Why Stanford? Have you thought of pursuing your career goals without getting an MBA
- Defining moment in your life
- Time you received constructive criticism and how you reacted, what did you learn
- Anything about yourself you wished you could change?
- Biggest accomplishment – both work and outside work?
- What is your leadership style?
- What drives you?
- A time you faced a disappointment
- Anything you wished I had asked or you think I should know about you?
All in all, I thought the interview was neutral/ok and of course I agonized afterwards about all the ways my answers could have been stronger. I was still luckily admitted in R2!!
