NYU / Stern MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Round 1 / Adcom / on-campus

As you probably know, the interviewer has reviewed all of your material. So obviously it is a bit different from most interviews.

She asked a lot of the standard interview questions:

  • Walk me through resume?
  • Career goals?
  • Why Stern?
  • If you get into all the schools you applied to which will you choose?
  • I think the most interesting question was: Compare Stern’s culture to your companies culture? (I am an entrepreneur)
  • How would your current colleagues describe you? How do you want your classmates to describe you when you graduate?
  • Strengths and weaknesses.
  • She asked about specific aspects of my application. Nothing too difficult. Mostly just looking for clarification.

Acdom was very friendly. Although she didn’t seem as interested in my small talk as other interviewers I’ve met. The admissions office is very professional and has less of an academic feel than most programs I’ve visited.
