I had read some of these reports prior to my Skype interview, so the questions were pretty similar. This was my last interview, and I found that it was also the most structured/formal wise. It was pretty clear that they have a list of questions that they requires the students to ask, and at times it felt more like a job interview than a conversation. Some of the questions are, it was a blind interview, she only had my resume to go off of.
There was a focus on leadership type questions, to the point where I felt that I was being asked essentially the same thing in different formats.
– Tell me about your background/story (resume summary) + some follow-up job description questions
– Why do you seek an MBA now?
– What do you consider your biggest accomplishment professionally?
– Experience leading a team
– When have you put forward an idea and failed, what happened? When have you succeeded?
– At a cocktail party, how would you describe and introduce yourself?
– Why McCombs?
– Do you have any questions for me?
Near the end it was more of a conversation, and it was very friendly once I asked her about her experience at the school and about Austin.
About 50-55 minutes.
Good luck everyone!
