apat Likes Earned: 10 The interview was with a 2nd year student. It lasted for 45 minutes on the dot. The interviewer explained the agenda and then introduced himself. It was quite conversational with some structured answers to behavioral questions. Then we went into the questions - 1. Please introduce yourself (2 minutes). 2. Why Haas? (I explained my goals first, tied it to why an MBA now, and then answered why Haas) 3. Describe your experience in DEI and how you can contribute to the diversity at Haas. (I shared my diverse background working in different countries, then gave 2 diversity experiences related to workplace and community) 4. Describe a time during your leadership experience when there was no consensus in the team and how you resolved it to reach an outcome. 5. Tell me a time when humility in the workplace facilitated an outcome and how you reacted. 6. Is there anything else we didn't cover or you want to share? (I highlighted my background in CS, crypto, and VC just to reinforce why I bring a very unique perspective to the classroom) These were the 6 questions we covered in the first 32 mins. Then we talked about 2 questions that I had plus some general chit-chat. 1. How is the exchange program with CBS? (My interviewer was currently a part of that) 2. How has the transition been from industry to business school? What did you find difficult as an international student? (My interviewer was an international student as well so he gave a good perspective on what to expect as challenges especially in terms of academics, professional, and personal) (1)
