The interview was very conversational. I completed it a couple of weeks ago. First year students were in the lounge to answer any queries. The interview lasted for 45 minutes. Interview atmosphere was really congenial. It was a blind interview. The most surprising part was the structure of the interview.
I was told that the interview will be divided into four parts:-
a) Professional stuff
b) Behavioral questions
c) Personal questions from resume
d) Questions
Traditional Section a) Walk me through your resume? What are your goals? Why MBA? What will you bring to Booth? Why Booth? {Lasted for 10-15 minutes}
Section b) Tell me about a time when you failed? Tell me about a time when you thought that you should have made a decision X but didn’t. Why do you think about such a decision? In a team-based environment, what are your priorities? What are 2-3 qualities of a leader? What qualities do you think your friends would describe about you? Why do you think so about friends’ opinion?
Section C) detailed questions from resume (mainly on hobbies.) I think that the goal was to make sure that I have done them. For a moment, I felt as if the interviewer shared one of my hobbies. The interviewer knew a lot about it. I was really surprised.
Section D) Questions?
