Chicago Booth MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Round 2 / Alumnus / Off-campus

I had my interview in a café in the city center in February 2009. The Alumnus graduated few years ago and holds a senior position in a PE/VC industry. The interview lasted more than one hour and was an informal chat rather than a series of questions. We talked about:

  • my undergraduate and graduate degree, and why I chose a career in Finance over Academia
  • my current responsibilities at work
  • the standard why MBA / why Booth / why now
  • my LT goals (he told me to be very detailed)
  • the clubs I plan to join at Booth
  • I asked some questions about his experience at Booth

Overall, a good experience with a down-to-earth person.
