NYU / Stern MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Round 1/ Adcom/ On Campus

Got there 20-30min early and knew where to go from a previous tour. The receptionist gave me the t shirt and folder tailored to my interests that all other interviewees seem to mention. The adcom who was interviewing me was very friendly and we spent a good amount of time just introducing ourselves first. She took my transcript right away, so definitely do not forget that one. Questions were as follows, although not in this order:

1. How did you come to work for XYZ?
2. What is your proudest work related accomplishment?
3. How did you choose to attend ABC for undergrad? What is your best memory of your time there?
3. Why Stern for your transition? (looking for a slight career change, it was something I talked about in my essays)
4. Where would you intern in between MBA1 and MBA2?
5. What is your back up plan if you don’t work in your desired post-MBA role?
6. How did you first hear about Stern and in what ways did you learn about the school?
7. What are some things you’d be involved in if you were to attend Stern?
8. What other schools did you apply to? How would you decide where to attend?
9. Questions for the AdCom?

The whole process only took about 30min and was very conversational and friendly. They say it could take up to 3 weeks to hear, but they got back to me late the next week.
