Georgetown McDonough Interview Questions & Report: Round 2 / Adcom / Virtual

Invited to interview on 3/2 and completed the interview on 3/8. Initially signed up to interview with an alum, but the system did not register the interview properly and needed to reschedule with a member of the adcom team.

The interview was very relaxed and conversational and lasted 30 minutes. The questions the interviewer asked were the standard fair:

(1) Tell me about yourself/introduce yourself.

(2) What was a time you had to resolve a disagreement with coworkers?

(3) What is a project you are especially proud of at work or in extracurriculars?

(4) What are your plans post-MBA and why Georgetown?

The interviewer would only bring up these questions intermittently and mostly allowed the conversation to flow depending on my response to each answer. Also spent a good chunk of the interview connecting as our backgrounds (education, work, etc.) were quite similar and used that as evidence for how Georgetown would be a good fit.

Definitely one of the more relaxed interviews I conducted during my application process, so as long as you have your core story down there should not be any issues.
