My interview was conducted by a second-year student in a large conference room of the Admissions Office. My interviewer wasn’t super friendly but wasn’t trying to stump me and made me feel very comfortable. The interview was very conversational. He asked me the following questions:
- Tell me your story beginning with college until now but don’t mention why an MBA yet.
- Why an MBA?
- What are your short-term (i.e. immediately after MBA school) and long-term goals?
- Can you tell me what percentage of your time is spent as a manager as opposed to a team member from when you began your job to now?
- How do you behave in a team where there is no official leader?
- What is your leadership style?
- Tell me about a failure of yours.
- What is something that you aren’t strong at (i.e. he didn’t like using the word “weakness”)?
- What is you biggest accomplishment?
- How about your biggest accomplishment in your personal life?
- Anything else you want the adcom to know about?
- Do you have any questions for me?
He was writing notes throughout the interview until he opened it up for questions from me. I’m not sure if my questions factor into the decision at all but one cannot be sure. I thought it went well but we will see what happens. Also, it’s a blind interview. He used the resume I brought.
