I was interviewed on campus on March 17 by an AdCom. She was really easygoing and after some general small talk she went in on the usual questions-
- Why an MBA?
- Why Stern?
- How will you contribute to Stern?
- Tell me about a time you were on a team?
- Tell me about your achievements?
- Where do you want to work the first summer?
- What type of companies do you see yourself working for?
Most of the questions were team oriented…they really focused on how I worked in teams and the results of those situations. The most interesting question was to describe how I would want to be introduced if I was invited back to the school to speak in 20 years.
I would say the most important thing to do is to prepare for how specifically you would fit in and lead at Stern. Know what activities and clubs you are going to be involved in and how you would contribute. If you really want to impress them, have a specific idea or too that you would want to implement to enhance a school activity. Also, you should definately know where you want to work and how you will get in there.
They say that they will give you notice in up to 3 weeks, but they actually get back to you pretty quick. I received notice about 10 days later that I was accepted. I will be attending.
