Tuck MBA Admissions Interview Questions: On-campus student interview, Early Decision Round

My interview was with a second year student who was friendly and professional. The interview was relaxed and comfortable. The interviewer had a copy of my resume and was familiar with it. However, he was unfamiliar with my field, which meant I had to briefly explain my industry’s landscape and my position in it during the initial “walk me through your resume” question.

Additional questions:

  1. What are your Post-MBA career goals?
  2. Why MBA and why now?
  3. Tuck is different than other schools, especially in terms of location, why do you think it’s the right school for you? (Read: Why Tuck?)
  4. Q&A

The interview was brief approximately 35-40. Overall the interviewer was professional, warm and relaxed – a good experience. One caveat: virtually every student I spoke with at Tuck mentioned (in one way or another) that because of the workload and the small community’s emphasis on extra-curricular participation, first-years tend to get only 5-6 hours of sleep per night.
