Duke / Fuqua MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Second Year Student / Round 1

I interviewed at Duke University in the fall of 2004 and was admitted to the class of 2007. Duke uses second year students or alumni interviewers for all of their interviewing. I interviewed with a second year student that had a similar background as me. The interview was very laid back and mostly intended to get to know me as a person. It had the general questions, why Duke, why MBA etc. It was more conversational than anything else and it felt very comfortable. From what I have been told the interview can only help you at Duke and is mostly to help the adcom determine your interest and individuality.

Other questions: (really all standard interview questions)

  • What are your career goals?
  • Why Duke?
  • Where do you see yourself in 5 and 10 years?
  • What do you want to contribute to the school?
  • Do you have any questions for me?
  • Why should the adcom admit you to the program?
