Duke / Fuqua MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Round 1 / On-campus / Second-year Student

My interview was at 11:00 am. My interview was conducted by a second year student. Everyone at Duke was extremely friendly, from the secretary to the students. They have lots of students introducing themselves and talking about Duke. It was a wonderful experience. I did the Duke tour, entrepreneurial session and the social event called Fuqua Friday.

Questions were all standard , all available on the Clear admit page, in fact the interviewer told me “the questions will be standard, you would have seen them before”

  1. Walk me through your resume
  2. Why Duke?
  3. Why MBA?
  4. What is your biggest strength?
  5. What is your biggest weakness?
  6. What do you want to do after your MBA?
  7. I spoke a lot about where I worked currently and my entrepreneurial experience. So he said “you have done so much, why MBA now?”
  8. What will you give back to Duke?
  9. Do you have any questions for me?

I had a lot of questions about Duke, and he answered all of them

We exchanged business cards. All in all it was my best interview experience ,I was well prepared , thanks to this wiki.

Result : was denied admission. ( :-(, especially since I really liked Duke!)
