I am a round 1 applicant who was waitlisted then invited to interview on the round 1 decision date.
My interview was on campus with a very sharp 2nd year student who only had my resume that I handed him when we sat down (blind interview). Judging by the previous posts and interview reports, it seems as if some of the questions (listed below) asked by my interviewer were a bit unusual. However, this could be attributed to the fact that my target industry and background are somewhat unconventional. Regardless, the interview atmosphere was very relaxed and conversational.
– Walk me through your resume.
– Why did you decide to pursue an MBA?
– What are your career goals?
– What is one question that I have not asked but you have an excellent response to?
– What would you do if your industry of choice was outlawed tomorrow?
– What sort of a position would you pursue in your industry of choice?
– Why haven’t you pursued such a position in this industry before?
– What are you going to do if you cannot find this kind of position since this is such a relatively small, niche industry?
– What questions do you have for me?
Overall, it was an excellent experience and I’m hoping for some good news soon!
