Interview was earlier in the month with an alum in my city. It lasted 1hr and was relaxed but comprehensive. I feel like she asked me every question on her sheet.
- Walk me through your resume
- Why Columbia?
- What are your goals?
- Why an MBA now?
- Backup plan
- Leadership example
- Teamwork example
- What’s my leadership style and provide an example?
- How will I contribute to Columbia?
- Time I faced adversity example
- Provide adjectives that your supervisor would use to describe you
- Weakness question
- Ethical dilemma example
- What other schools are you applying to?
- Is there anything you want me to emphasize on my write up? (I said my maturity as I am a few years younger than CBS’ WE mean)
- Questions for her
Lots and lots of small talk in between and many follow up questions with all of my examples.
Status: Accepted 3 weeks after the interview!
