Cornell / Johnson MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Round Two / On Campus / Adcom

I interviewed on campus on 01/30 with an admissions representative. It was rather informal.

Interview questions:

  • Walk me through your resume
  • What led you to this career path and why
  • Johnson is a small program. Why do you think you will be a good fit?
  • What are your short and long term career goals
  • What research have you done for you post MBA job. Where would you like to work after you graduate/
  • Why an MBA and why Johnson?
  • How and what research have you done about Johnson?
  • What other school are you applying to. (Did not ask why. Perhaps we were running out of time)
  • What are you weaknesses?
  • Tell me about a time when you worked with a challenging team member.
  • Tell me about a time when you did not agree with your supervisor.
  • How will you contribute to Johnson outside the classroom?
  • Given the rigorous coursework, do you think you are prepared for it.? Followed with i am prepared for quant ?

It was a good experience as i spent about slightly over an hour discussing my profile primarily because of my long resume.

Lots of questions on current job. Could not go over my Extracurricular activities.

She had a form with questions and was taking down notes. All questions were from that form i believe.
