I had an alumni interview in November where we met at the interviewer’s office. Everything was pretty relaxed and total time was about 30-35 minutes during which the interviewer wrote notes on my responses using forms provided by Cornell.
- Tell me about yourself.
- Why Cornell?
- What other schools did you apply to? Why?
- Why MBA?
- What are your career goals?
- Why are you applying to the other schools? (the interviewer seemed to want more detail to show the connection between the schools)
- Tell me about a time you displayed leadership.
- Tell me about a time you had to overcome a difficult situation.
