Duke / Fuqua MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Alumni / Off-campus

I interviewed in late Nov ‘05 with a Duke Alum. The interview lasted for more than 2 hours in an international location.

Apart from the questions already discussed here, I can think of a few more:

  1. Which other schools are you applying to? What if you get admitted to all the schools on your list? ( I was made comfortable and asked for my honest opinion with reasons for or against each school)
  2. What defines your leadership style?
  3. Tell me 6 qualities you would expect in your leader (Supervisor).
  4. Give me a situation where you were part of a team and things didn’t go well because of you. Then, tell me of a situation where you made things work in a team environment.
  5. What if you have a domineering participant in a meeting being chaired by you?
  6. How would you choose your business partner?
  7. Do you follow a certain philosophy in life?
  8. What do your parents think about you?
  9. What questions do you have for the adcom?

It was one of my best interviews in terms of its detail and content.
