Cornell / Johnson MBA Admissions Interview Questions: Alum / Off-Campus / Round 1

I had my alum interview recently. It was a fairly relaxed interview for about 40-50 min. I was asked the below questions –

  • Talk about yourself
  • Why MBA
  • Why Cornell?
  • What other schools are you applying to and why?
  • What have you done to learn about Cornell?
  • Team handling – various situations
  • What do you expect from Cornell?
  • What can Cornell expect from you (During Cornell and after Cornell)?
  • Why not Indian BSchool? Why US ? (I had spoken about returning to India as my long term goal)
