Stanford GSB MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Alum / Admitted

The alum was conversational and friendly. Asked me questions for 30 minutes and left me 15 minutes to ask questions. I was surprised by the intensity of the interview.

  • Why an MBA? What would you do if you couldn’t get an MBA?
  • Tell be about a time you led a team and let them down? Asked for a second example that was more team-oriented.
  • Tell be about a time you saw and took advantage of an opportunity?
  • Tell be about a time you overcame a great obstacle?
  • What is your greatest accomplishment?
  • Tell be about a time when you stood on the unpopular side of an issue?
  • What do you do outside of work for fun?
  • What is a piece of constructive advice you’ve been given?
  • In which industry would you work if you couldn’t work in your first-choice industry?
