NYU / Stern EMBA Admissions Interview Questions: Round 2 / On-Campus

So my story was a little bit different, I’m applying for an executive MBA program. Since it was really hard to find questions for these interviews I hope me sharing it here will help other candidates.

I was greeted and offered water, then she explained the interview outline, her asking me some questions and then review the materials she prepared, followed by me asking questions.

Here are some of the questions I was asked:

  • Tell me a little bit about yourself and walk me through your resume
  • Why MBA?
  • Why Stern?
  • Tell me more about your experience in the army
  • Tell me about your day to day responsibilities
  • What is your biggest personal achievement?
  • Tell me about a failed project or personal failure
  • If you had 30 seconds to pitch yourself to the admission committee, what would you say?

Walked me though a set of brochures that answered most of my questions.

Overall the interview was friendly and conversational, around 45 minutes.
