NYU / Stern MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Round 1 / On-campus / Staff

My interview was with someone from the Career Center, though I had expected Adcom. She was very friendly and had work experience in my desired industry. The interview was almost exactly 30 minutes.

List of interview questions:

  • Tell me about your background.
  • Can you tell me about a time where you had to persuade someone to do something?
  • Describe a time where you had to manage a conflict.
  • What do you like most about Stern?
  • What would your manager say is one of your strengths? One of your weaknesses?
  • Can you name some companies you’d like to work for upon graduation?
  • Looking back at your work experience, what are you most proud of?
  • What do you like to do for fun?
  • Do you have any questions for me? (I had time to ask only 1 question)

It was the shortest interview I’d had thus far – overall, I think it went well. She told me to stay tuned for a decision within two weeks.

Result: Admitted!
