I had an alum interview about a month ago. I e-mailed all three alumni in my initial list and went with the person that responded the quickest and had the most flexibility. This interview was very relaxed and much more laid back than any of my other business school interviews. Questions were very “by the book”, having read this site before:
- Resume walk through
- Why b-school
- Why Columbia
- Ethical dilemma question
- What I will add to Columbia
- Backup plan if I don’t get in
- Am I applying to other schools
- Lots of time for me to ask questions, and get background on the interviewer
Time: About 45 mins. Result: Admitted about 3 weeks later!
