Cornell / Johnson MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Adcom / On-campus / Round 2 / Accepted!

Interview was fairly informal. Lasted almost exactly 30 minutes and she asked the following questions:

  • Walk me through your resume and experience.
  • Leadership examples
  • Asked about my career goals
  • Which immersion would best fit your goals?
  • Tell me about a time you experienced conflict and how did you resolve it?
  • Did you bring anything else besides your resume you would like to share?
  • Asked me about my passion for a particular sport since the interviewer was also passionate about it
  • Asked if I had re-taken my GMAT because I said I would in the optional essay of my application (which I did re-take).
  • Any questions for me?

When I walked away I didn’t feel like I had connected with the interviewer as well as I would have liked but I got my message across about my background, goals, how Cornell fits into my plan and how I fit into Cornell. Learned of my acceptance via a phone call on February 15th, one day before the notification deadline.
