Interview was with Adcom member in comfortable setting in hotel lobby. Had reviewed only my resume and prefaced the interview by saying that some questions would overlap with information covered in the essay questions and application, which was okay.
1. Walk me through your resume, and tell me specifically why you choose your undergrad school.
2. How did you hear about McCombs, and how does McCombs fit into your career goals (why McCombs)?
3. Give me an example of leadership in your career? How do you define leadership in that moment?
4. What is the most difficult professional career decision you have made?
5. Imagine it’s the first day of class, and your new classmates are introducing themselves. What do you look for during the introductions?
6. How would you engage with the UT-Austin community?
7. What other schools are you considering. If you were to get into all of them, how would you make your choice?
8. If I was to stand up in the Adcom room to discuss your candidacy in 30 seconds, what would you want me to say?
Left time for questions. He was taking notes on my resume during the whole conversation. Overall, great interview feel and format.
