I had a great visit. Surprisingly, I was blown away by the campus and environment, much more than at Kellogg and other schools I visited. The new E62 Building is amazing, and I fell in love with all of the other MIT buildings in the vicinity. My interview was very standard and were all questions listed on this site. Most were behavioral questions so make sure to have your stories ready (not the ones from your essays).
The questions were around:
- please give me a recent accomplishment at work
- describe a time you had to work with a difficult person
- describe a time you had to take feedback and what was your response to it
- something about proposing new ideas (I don’t remember exactly), and other basic behavioral questions. I did NOT get the Why MIT/why now/why MBA although I would still freshen up on this just in case.
The interviewer was really cool and chill so just be yourself and genuine. We had several side conversations about family and business so make sure you click with your interviewer as I think a large part of it is “fit”. Good luck all!
